PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for enabling the automatization of a transplanting process of separating cultivated aseptic plants and transplanting them to rooting vessels in a place crowded with obstacles or in a narrow working space such as in vitro. SOLUTION: This automatic system for separating the plants consisting of a robot part, a sensor part, a hand part having a grasping claw at its tip end and equipped with a rod having an elastic characteristic at a part of or whole of it and a general controller for regulating each of the parts is characterized by comprising a first step of measuring the plant form with the sensor part, a second step of moving the hand part with the robot part based on the measurement in the first step, a third step of measuring the relative distance between the hand part and the plant with the sensor part, a fourth step of moving the hand part until the grasping claw is brought into a contact with the plant and a fifth step of producing a bend part on the rod part.
