PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic handing method for a workpiece and an automatic handling system for a workpiece, which surely determines existence of the workpiece in a predetermined area even if the workpiece is not positioned in a predetermined area. SOLUTION: This automatic handling system for a workpiece includes: a height computing means 522; an area computing means 523; and an end determination means 524, wherein it is determined based upon the height of an imaged object computed from the pickup image in imaging a pallet whether a workpiece exists on the pallet, whereby even if the workpiece is not accurately positioned on the pallet, the existence of the workpiece is surely determined. Since the position of center of gravity of the workpiece is automatically determined according to the first original image to allow a robot 10 to fetch the workpiece, the complicated teaching operation of the robot 10 is not needed.
