Galgotias University Robot Dog Sparks Controversy at AI Summit
The Galgotias University robot dog became the center of attention at the Galgotias University AI Summit in Delhi after a video went viral. Many people thought the university had made the robot dog, but the university has now clarified the truth.
Viral Video Causes Confusion
At the Galgotias University AI Summit, Professor Neha Singh showed a robot dog named Orion. She said Orion was developed by the university and could do tasks like surveillance and monitoring on campus.
Soon, people found out that the robot dog was bought from a Chinese company called Unitree and was not made by Galgotias University. This caused online criticism and confusion.
Galgotias University Responds
Galgotias University issued a statement to clear the misunderstanding:
“Galgotias has not built this robot dog, and we never claimed it. But we are building minds that will one day design and create such technology here in Bharat.”

The university explained that they bring advanced technologies from countries like China, Singapore, and the US to help students learn. The robot dog is meant as a learning tool, not something made at the university.
Robot Dog is a Learning Tool
According to Galgotias University, the Galgotias University robot dog is “not just a machine on display — it is a moving classroom.” Students are using it to learn, test its abilities, and understand robotics and AI better.
About Unitree Robot Dogs
The robot dog is made by Unitree Robotics, a company from China that builds four-legged robots. These robots can walk and move like real animals. They can do many tasks, such as avoiding obstacles, checking places, or even entertaining people. Unitree robots are also less expensive than other robots, like Boston Dynamics’ Spot.
By using the Galgotias University robot dog at the Galgotias University AI Summit, students get a chance to learn robotics and AI by working with the robot themselves, preparing them for the future.
