Galgotias University has been instructed to immediately clear its exhibition stall at the India AI Summit Expo following a controversy surrounding the display of a robotic dog, according to government sources. The action was reportedly taken after questions were raised about the originality of the technology being showcased.
The university had presented a robotic dog named “Orion” at the expo, describing it as an in-house innovation. However, information circulating on social media suggested that the robot was not developed by the institution but was instead an imported product manufactured in China.
Critics claimed that the showcased device closely resembles the widely known Go2 model produced by Chinese robotics firm Unitree Robotics. The model in question, Unitree Go2, is a commercially available quadruped robot. Following these allegations, the university faced strong online backlash, with many accusing it of misrepresenting imported technology as its own creation.
As the controversy intensified, authorities reportedly intervened and directed the institution to remove its display from the expo premises. The episode has sparked a broader debate on transparency, authenticity, and ethical representation in the field of technological innovation.
Amid the criticism, Galgotias University issued an official statement seeking to clarify its position. Nevertheless, the incident has cast a spotlight on the credibility of exhibits presented at the AI Summit and raised questions about verification standards at such high-profile technology events.
