Claim 0:
1. A network communication system for a robot for providing redundant network communication to components in the robot, the network communication system comprising:
a main robotic controller in network communication with one or more robotic components;
a local controller in network communication with the main robotic controller and a controlled component of the one or more robotic components that is operable based on a data signal comprising control instructions executed by the local controller;
a first network channel configured to facilitate network communication between the main robotic controller and the local controller to facilitate conveying a first data signal between the main robotic controller and the local controller; and
a second network channel configured to facilitate network communication between the main robotic controller and the local controller to facilitate conveying a second data signal between the main robotic controller and the local controller;
wherein the first data signal and the second data signal are configured to be redundant data signals sent respectively over the first network channel and the second network channel.
