AI Summit: Beating Modi government is ugly! Chinese robot shown as made in India, action against Galgotias University after controversy

Bureau Prayagraj. A big controversy has arisen regarding a robotic dog during the AI ​​Impact Summit 2026 held in Greater Noida. This robot displayed by Galgotias University at the summit was introduced as an AI technology developed in India. It was claimed that this was the university’s ‘in-house’ developed technology. However, after the video went viral on social media, questions started being raised on this claim and the matter gained momentum.

During the summit, a video surfaced in which a representative of the university was talking to the media and explaining the features of the robotic dog. In the video, the robot was named “Orion” and said that it has been developed by the University’s ‘Centre of Excellence’. As soon as the video went viral, many tech experts and users claimed that this robot is not developed in India, but is a model of a Chinese company.

An account named ‘China Pulse’ on the social media platform shared pictures and videos of the robot and claimed that it is the same model which was earlier displayed by a Chinese robotics company. Later it was revealed that this model is the ‘Go2’ robotic dog of the Chinese company Unitree Robotics. According to reports, it was purchased from abroad and not developed in India.

It has been claimed that this ‘Go2’ model is available in the market at a price of around Rs 2 to 3 lakh. This AI-powered robotic dog is equipped with 4D LiDAR technology. With the help of this technology, it can climb stairs and walk with balance even on rough roads. The same features were also displayed at the summit.

After the controversy escalated, the university clarified that they had not claimed to develop it. He says that this robot has been brought as a tool for students’ learning and research.

However, in the viral video it was said to be prepared by the University’s Center of Excellence, which led to confusion. After the matter came to light, information has been received quoting government sources that the University has been asked to vacate the AI ​​Summit Expo venue immediately. However, an official detailed statement on this is yet to come.

The crux of the controversy is the difference between the claim of ‘desi AI’ and foreign models. On one hand, in the summit it was described as a technology developed in India. On the other hand, social media and tech experts called it a product of a Chinese company.
