Abstract

Using various embodiments, an autonomous robot using data captured from a living subject are disclosed. In one embodiment, an autonomous robot is described comprising a robotic skeleton designed similar to that of a human skeleton to simulate similar movements as performed by living subjects. The movements of the robotic skeleton are resultant due to control signals received by effectors present near or on the robotic skeleton. The robot can be configured to receive sensor data transmitted from a sensor apparatus that periodically gathers the sensor data from a living subject. The robot can then process the sensor data to transmit control signals to the effectors to simulate the actions performed by the living subject and perform a predictive analysis to learn the capability of generating spontaneous and adaptive actions, resulting in an autonomous robot that can adapt to its surroundings.
