Robots are increasingly being used in computer integrated surgery (CIS) systems, yet to our knowledge, there is no open source software that is specifically targeted at this application domain.

We then focus on some key design details, which include extensive application of the command pattern as well as a dynamic interface query mechanism, and present a simple example to illustrate the concepts
