Unitree Robotics partners with NetEase’s MMORPG to test robot technology in virtual worlds

Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics has partnered with NetEase’s martial arts MMORPG Justice Online Mobile to explore two-way integration between robotics and virtual environments. The collaboration will use the game’s world as a “digital proving ground” for Unitree’s robots, allowing user feedback to inform product development while enhancing in-game motion performance. Unitree’s robots will also assist with motion capture to improve realism and reduce injury risks during complex action scenes. [TechNode reporting]
