An automatic robotic apparatus for conducting a minimally invasive surgical procedure includes a robotic arm having a movable member made as the multilink active actuator. The end portion of the multilink active actuator is provided with the connector to which the hollow head for a needle biopsy is attached. The operation of the U-shaped head is under full control of the robotic apparatus computer system. Results of pre-procedure studies of a site of interest and the progression of the surgical procedure are displayed on a monitor of the computer system.
