A robot system includes a base station and a robot. The base station
includes a wireless transceiver configured to communicate TCP/IP
transmissions over a local wireless protocol, a wired Ethernet connector
for communicating TCP/IP transmissions over a local wired Ethernet
accessing the Internet, and an access point circuit for transferring
TCP/IP transmissions between the local wired Ethernet and local wireless
protocol. The access point circuit is limited to a predetermined IP
address locked to the robot, a predetermined shell level encryption
locked to the robot, and predetermined ports to the Internet open only to
the robot. The robot includes a wireless transceiver configured to
communicate TCP/IP transmissions over a local wireless protocol and a
client circuit for transferring TCP/IP transmissions over the local
wireless protocol.
