Claim 9:
10. A computer implemented method for redundant network communication, comprising:
transferring a command between a main robotic controller and a local controller in network communication with the main robotic controller and a controlled component of a robotic component that is controlled by the local controller to perform a function of the robot, wherein a command is encoded in a first and second data signal at the main robotic controller or the local controller, and the first data signal is sent over a first network channel, and the second data signal is sent over a second network channel;
comparing the first data signal with the second data signal to determine signal integrity associated with the first and second network channels;
determining if the signal integrity of the first data signal is degraded as compared to the signal integrity the second data signal;
processing the second data signal received over the second network channel to obtain the command encoded in the second data signal; and
performing an action based on the command obtained from the second data signal.
