1. A computer-assisted device comprising:
an articulated arm; and
a control unit coupled to the articulated arm;
wherein, to support integrated motion with a table physically separate from and communicatively coupled to the computer-assisted device via a communications connection, the control unit is configured to:
receive a table movement request from a table command unit of the table,
determine whether the table movement request should be allowed, and
allow the table to perform the table movement request based on determining that the table movement request should be allowed.
