Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause a redundant network communications system of a robot to:
transfer between a main robotic controller and a local controller associated with a controlled component of robotic component and in network communication with the main robotic controller, first and second data signals sent over primary and secondary network channels, respectively, wherein an original data signal is duplicated at the main robotic controller or local controller to generate the first data signal and the second data signal;
compare the first and second data signals to determine signal integrity of the first and second data signals, wherein the first data signal is compared to the second data signal;
determine whether the signal integrity of the first data signal is degraded as compared to the signal integrity of the second data signal; and
process the second data signal received over the secondary network channel.
