The invention discloses a tracking method used for indoor WiFi fingerprint acquisition. A WiFi fingerprint acquisition robot, a tracking line laid on the indoor ground and a server with a built-in indoor electronic map are provided. The indoor region is divided into N sub-regions; an anchor is set for each sub-region; a backstage worker controls the WiFi fingerprint acquisition robot to move to ananchor position corresponding to the sub-region by use of a remote control device by observing a scene video received by the server; after reaching the anchor position, the WiFi fingerprint acquisition robot carries out autonomous tracking movement. According to the invention, by combining manual remote control and automatic tracking operation, the tracking processes of the WiFi fingerprint acquisition robot are controlled, so acquisition efficiency can be improved and operation tracks can be manually corrected; by setting the anchors, the tracking movement of each sub-region is relatively independent, so accumulated errors generated by whole tracking are avoided; positioning precision is improved; and the matching degree of the acquired WiFi fingerprints and position information is quiteprecise.
