You'd have to use a USB to Ethernet adapter.

Honestly I see no reason why a tablet belongs on a robot. It has a display in battery which are simply not necessary and take up more surface area. They are more expensive than Mini ITX style PCs that you can build our buy yourself for much less (check out the Zotac boards, we've used one with good success), without violating any rules.
