Claim One:
1. A sensor apparatus for periodically gathering data from a living subject for use by an autonomous robot, the sensor apparatus comprising: a covering material configured to cover at least a portion of the living subject, wherein the covering material includes at least one of garments, harnesses, straps, belts, hats, caps, headgear, helmets, shoes, boots, footwear, gloves, mitts, simulated grippers, or hosiery; one or more first sensors coupled to the covering material, wherein the one or more first sensors are at least one of an accelerometer, bend sensor, stretch sensor, pressure sensor, or proximity sensor, wherein the one or more first sensors can measure movements, bending, rotations, or angular displacement of the body of the living subject including the limbs, joints, and extremities of the living subject in a controlled environment; and a data computing device connected to the one or more sensors, wherein the data computing device can periodically capture and save the data generated from the one or more first sensors in a data file on a storage medium, wherein the data is saved in such a format that it can be retrieved from the storage medium and processed by another computing device for use by an autonomous robot in a manner such that the autonomous robot can exhibit substantially the same movement or action exhibited by the living subject while the data was being captured.
