What kind of waves to scientists send to robots on other planets - and
how are these waves immune to the intense shape bending radiation in
space?

Normal microwave radio. The current probes use 'X' band microwaves, the same
as are used in some radar speed traps.
There is no 'shape bending radiation' in space.
There is bending caused by gravity, but the amount is tiny, till you get
close to a really strong gravitational field like the Sun. The same bending
applies to light, and the measured positions of the planets (using light),
all agreed with the positions generated by Newton's equations, till you get
in to Mercury, where it's position showed a 'mismatch', which for a while
people thought might be caused by another planet inside it's orbit. When the
effects of gravity were at last understood, and allowed for, the positions,
matched the measurements.
The beam angles involved in any practical communication system, are large
enough, to deal with any small errors.

Best Wishes

I don't suppose you'd like to rephrase the abopve sentence. Hopefully
enough that it actually makes sense.

You're trolling. Quit it.
