Galgotias Professor Under Fire Over Robodog Claim, University Vacates AI Summit Stall

• Professor Neha Singh of Galgotias University expressed regret over misinterpretation of her remarks regarding a robotic dog at the India AI Impact Summit 2026.
• The university clarified that the robot dog, Unitree Go2, was procured from a Chinese manufacturer for academic purposes and not claimed as an in-house invention.
• The controversy arose after a viral clip showed Singh introducing the robot as 'Orion' and implying it was developed by the institution.
• Galgotias University was asked to vacate its stall at the AI Summit, and the Central government issued a stern warning to all exhibitors.
• Registrar Nitin Kumar Gaur stated the confusion stemmed from the use of 'develop' and 'development,' clarifying the university worked on its academic development, not manufacturing.
