A guide-type virtual wall system is provided. The system comprises a beacon (11, 44) and a robot (12), wherein a transmission module of the beacon (11, 44) directionally transmits a first signal, and an area covered by the first signal defines a beacon signal area (13). The robot (12) comprises a beacon signal receiving module corresponding to the beacon signal transmission module. When the robot (12) enters the beacon signal area (13) and the beacon signal receiving module detects the first signal, the robot (12) advances towards the direction of the beacon (11, 44) until it detects a second signal, and then the robot (12) crosses over or exits from the beacon signal area (13). The system can restrict the robot (12) from entering a certain area, wherein the area where a virtual wall is located is not missed, and the robot (12) is also enabled to cross over the virtual wall to enter the restricted area when required.
