The reason why my robot was not connecting to my PC was because I did not set the IP address for my computer.

After I set my IP address with the following commands I was able to communicate with my robot.

ifconfig -a # This was to check the name of my network card which in my case was ens33
sudo ifconfig ens33 192.168.0.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 # with this I set my PC's IP address
