Not quite. Wimps aren't really good for anything but replacement parts, honestly. You can do something to combat atrophy via electricity, but the mental pathways just aren't there to help you control the 'drone'. That's why no one has used wimp biodrones before now. (Believe me, if it could be done, the corps would have done it by now, and would be using them instead of runners for most of their deniable asset needs.)

You'd need something like the stirrup interface from 4E, and that's gonna take up a lot of essence in your drone, making it so you're going to be relatively light on other 'ware. Unless you somehow get to rig into a cyberzombie. (By this point, you should smack your GM with a phonebook if he is even considering the possibility.) But we know having a metahuman 'biodrone' is possible, since the Proteus board is rumored to use them all the time. For the rest, your best bet would be an anthroform drone with a high Mimic rating, and go from there.
