SECURING COMMUNICATIONS WITH ROBOTS
First Claim
1. A computer network, where operators interface with the network to control movement of robots on a wireless computer network, comprising:
- a communication network configured to provide firewall policies to substantially secure communication between operators and the associated robots; and
a plurality of robot controllers with each controller included in a different robot in and configured to wirelessly communicate with the network arena controller, wherein each robot controller executes firewall policies to substantially secure wireless communication.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for managing communications with robots. In some implementations, a computer network, where operators interface with the network to control movement of robots on a wireless computer network includes a network arena controller and a plurality of robot controllers. The network arena controller is configured to provide firewall policies to substantially secure communication between robot controllers and the associated robots. Each controller is included in a different robot and configured to wirelessly communicate with the network arena controller. Each robot controller executes firewall policies to substantially secure wireless communication.
