    In the context of surgery, it is very common to face challenging scenarios during the preoperative plan implementation -- The surgical technique’s complexity, the human anatomical variability and the occurrence of unexpected situations generate issues for the intervention’s goals achievement -- To support the surgeon, robotic systems are being integrated to the operating room -- However, current commercial solutions are specialized for a particular technique or medical application, being difficult to integrate with other systems -- Thus, versatile and modular systems are needed to conduct several procedures and to help solving the problems that surgeons face -- This article aims to describe the implementation of a robotic research platform prototype that allows novel applications in the field of imageguided surgery -- In particular, this research is focused on the topics of medical image acquisition during surgery, patient registration and surgical/medical equipment operation -- In this paper, we address the implementation of the general purpose teleoperation and path following modes of the platform, which constitute the base of future developments -- Also, we discuss relevant aspects of the system, as well as future directions and application fields to investigate
