The recent controversy surrounding Galgotias University in Greater Noida, India, escalated after the institution was forced to vacate its stall at the AI Impact Summit 2026 due to misleading claims about a robotic dog. Initially, Professor Neha Singh presented the robotic dog, named 'Orin', as a product developed by the university's Center of Excellence. However, social media users quickly identified the robot as the 'Unitree Go 2', a commercially available model from the Chinese company Unitree Robotics, priced between 200,000 to 300,000 Indian Rupees. Following the backlash, the university issued a public apology, stating, "We at Galgotias University, wish to apologise profusely for the confusion created at the recent AI Summit," and clarified that the representative who made the claims was not fully informed about the product's origins and had not been authorized to speak to the media (Hum News, February 18, 2026).
