The statement from Galgotias University clarified that they did not create the robodog, nor claimed to have done so. Their involvement with the Unitree Go2, a robotic dog imported from China, was highlighted at the India AI Impact Summit, where they faced criticism after representatives promoted it as an original invention. This led to the removal of the stall by the expo organizers to prevent controversy that could detract from the event’s purpose. IT Secretary S. Krishnan emphasized the importance of adhering to standards to avoid misconceptions. While the university acknowledged they did not create the robodog, they highlighted its role as an educational tool—stating it serves as a ‘classroom in motion’ where students engage with technology to enhance their learning. In response to the situation, the Congress party criticized the government for diminishing India’s global reputation, with Rahul Gandhi denouncing the summit as disorganized and a poor representation of Indian capabilities, pointing out issues like selling Indian data and showcasing Chinese products.
