Galgotias University faces controversy after misrepresenting a Chinese robodog as an in-house innovation at an AI Summit. The university initially claimed the robotic dog named Orion was their own creation, with a professor stating a ₹350 crore investment in AI. However, social media quickly exposed the device as a commercially available Unitree Robodog from China. After significant backlash, the university clarified that the robodog was purchased to help students learn AI programming and develop practical skills. The incident highlights the importance of transparency in academic technology presentations and the challenges of representing technological innovations accurately in competitive academic environments.
