On October 23rd， news emerged that the renowned Chinese national-style open-world game， “Justice Mobile”， has announced a collaboration with robotics technology company， Unitree Robotics. This partnership aims to explore the mutual empowerment of virtual worlds and robotics technology. On one hand， the game’s virtual environment will serve as a testing platform for robots， while on the other， robotics technology will be utilized to enhance in-game motion performance.
It is understood that “Justice Mobile” has become the designated in-game virtual application partner for Unitree Robotics’ robots.
The game’s virtual world will function as Unitree Robotics’ “digital proving ground，” facilitating the collection of user feedback and driving innovation in robotics technology.
In demanding action sequences， Unitree robots will act as motion capture stand-ins. This approach mitigates the risk of injury for human performers attempting high-difficulty stunts and simultaneously delivers more realistic motion effects to the game’s players. This collaborative strategy highlights a forward-thinking approach to leveraging virtual environments for practical technological advancement.
This partnership also brings benefits to players， such as the opportunity to receive a virtual version of a Unitree robot dog upon completing specific in-game “wonder” tasks.
Furthermore， Unitree robots will deliver performances within the game for players to enjoy.
Looking ahead， the collaboration is expected to extend to offline events and other scenarios.
Unitree Robotics is a world-renowned civilian robotics company specializing in the independent research， development， production， and sales of high-performance， general-purpose legged/humanoid robots and dexterous manipulators for both consumer and industrial markets. The company has previously been invited to appear at major events such as the 2021 CCTV Spring Festival Gala and the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
“Justice Mobile” is a martial arts open-world MMORPG developed by NetEase. The game has already widely integrated AI technologies， including an intelligent NPC system and the world’s first in-game AI large model arena. By providing optimization feedback through real-time interaction data from a massive player base， it has become a proving ground for AI technology implementation. This existing AI infrastructure makes it a natural and complementary partner for advanced robotics integration.
