Galgotias University drew sharp criticism after a robotic dog displayed at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi was found to be a Chinese-made Unitree Go2.
A video of a representative presenting it as a university-developed innovation went viral, triggering questions about authenticity. The university later clarified that the robot was bought for student training and research, not built on campus, and said the person who spoke to the media was not authorised.
It also issued an apology for the confusion. Sources indicated the stall was asked to shut, but the institution denied any official eviction, calling the episode a misunderstanding during the high-profile event.
