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

  • Galgotias University is under scrutiny for allegedly falsely claiming to have built a 'soccer drone' from scratch.
  • The university asserted end-to-end engineering of the drone, but online users identified it as a commercially available Striker V3 ARF from a South Korean firm.
  • This new controversy follows the university being asked to leave the India AI Impact Summit expo over claims about a 'robodog' identified as a Chinese-made Unitree Go2.
  • Professor Neha Singh of Galgotias University took responsibility for unclear communication regarding the robodog, stating it was a learning tool.
  • The Ministry of Electronics and IT emphasized showcasing only genuine work at the summit, leading to Galgotias' removal from the expo.
