Galgotias University: Chinese Robot Claim a 'Communication Error,' University Worked on Development

  • Galgotias University officials stated the controversy over the Chinese robotic dog at the AI Impact Summit was a "communication error."
  • The institution faced scrutiny for allegedly misrepresenting a China-made robotic dog as indigenous innovation.
  • Registrar Nitin Kumar Gaur clarified, "We didn't develop it; we worked on its development," after procuring it for academic research.
  • Faculty member Neha Singh, who presented the robot, called it a "misinterpretation" and stated she is not from the AI department.
  • The robot, named 'Orion' in a viral video, closely resembles the Unitree Go2, a commercially available quadruped robot from China.
