Galgotias University Faces New 'Soccer Drone' Controversy After Robodog Row

  • Galgotias University is under scrutiny for claiming to develop a 'soccer drone' after a previous controversy involving a Chinese robodog.
  • The university showcased the 'soccer drone' at the India AI Impact Summit, asserting it was built through 'end-to-end engineering' on campus.
  • Social media users identified the drone as the Helsel Striker V3, a commercially available South Korean product, questioning the university's claim.
  • This incident follows an earlier controversy where the university presented a Chinese-made Unitree Go2 robotic dog as its own innovation, leading to their removal from the expo.
  • Galgotias University clarified the robotic dog was for learning, but has not yet addressed the 'soccer drone' allegations.
