A method for automatically processing a structure-reinforcing member of an aircraft, including: (S) acquiring, by a handheld laser scanner, data of an area to be reinforced of the aircraft; (S) controlling a robotic arm to automatically grab the reinforcing member for automatic scanning; (S) setting a cutting path in a computer aided design (CAD) digital model followed by registration with real data to obtain an actual cutting path, and cutting the reinforcing member; (S) controlling the robotic arm to guide a cut reinforcing member to a scanning area for automatic scanning; and (S) subjecting point cloud data of the cut reinforcing member and the area to be reinforced to virtual assembly and calculating a machining allowance to determine whether an accuracy requirement is met; if yes, ending a task; otherwise, grinding the reinforcing member automatically, and repeating steps (S)-(S).
