1. An automated apparatus for a stereotactic surgical device capable of applying a rotational force to a handle of the stereotactic surgical device, the automated apparatus comprising:
a support that is formed into a plate shape including therein a first opening and is coupled to the stereotactic surgical device in order for the handle to penetrate therethrough the first opening;
an operation part that is coupled to the handle penetrating the support and has a receiving groove, which is extended in a longitudinal direction, at an upper portion;
a driving part that includes a rotational shaft;
a rotational part that includes an insertion member extended in the longitudinal direction to be inserted into the receiving groove and is coupled to the rotational shaft, the rotational part being configured to rotate by the rotational shaft; and
a connection part which is coupled to the driving part and receives the rotational part in a chamber formed therein and includes a second opening at a lower portion to communicate with the chamber and allow the operation part to be introduced thereinto and of which the lower portion is detachably coupled to the support,
wherein when the connection part is attached to the support, the operation part is introduced into the second opening and the insertion member of the rotational part is inserted into the operation part, and when the connection part is detached from the support, the insertion member of the rotational part is separated from the operation part.
