Noida-based Galgotias University exited the India AI Impact Summit following a controversy over presenting a Chinese robodog as its own.<\/p>\n

Professor Neha Singh, the main person at the centre of the debate, has updated her LinkedIn profile to \u201cOpen to Work.”<\/p>\n

Galgotias University Professor Changes LinkedIn Status<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neha\u2019s LinkedIn bio highlighted her focus on communication skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always believed that communication is more than just a skill \u2014 it is a force that shapes identity, builds confidence, and opens doors. With a natural flair for language, articulation, and stage presence, I have spent years helping individuals unlock their voice and express themselves with clarity and impact,” she wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat sets me apart is not just my command of language, but the ability to connect, inspire, and elevate others through it. I enjoy working with learners at various stages \u2014 guiding them to communicate with confidence, professionalism, and authenticity,” the bio further stated.<\/p>\n

What Triggered The Controversy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The issue began after a video clip caught widespread attention that showed Neha introducing a robotic dog named \u201cOrion.” In the clip, she described it as being \u201cdeveloped” by the university\u2019s Centre of Excellence.<\/p>\n

But it was later alleged that the machine was actually the Unitree Go2, an AI-powered robotic dog manufactured by China-based company Unitree Robotics and not an indigenously developed product.<\/p>\n

This led to criticism that imported technology was being presented as homegrown innovation.<\/p>\n

Professor Issues Clarification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neha said there was no intention to mislead while responding to the controversy. She explained that the situation arose out of \u201centhusiasm and unclear expression” rather than a deliberate claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe controversy happened because things may not have been expressed clearly. I take accountability that perhaps I did not communicate it properly, as it was done with a lot of energy and enthusiasm and very quickly,” she said.<\/p>\n

She added that her remarks were not articulated clearly and expressed regret over how they were interpreted.<\/p>\n

Responding to the allegations, Singh clarified that the university had not built the robotic dog. She explained that the machine was purchased as part of the institution\u2019s investment in artificial intelligence and was intended to serve as a practical learning tool for students, rather than an in-house innovation.<\/p>\n

University\u2019s Apology And Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon after, Galgotias University issued a clarification. The university said it had never claimed to have built the robotic dog and that the device was procured for academic and demonstration purposes.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us be clear, Galgotias has not built this robodog, nor have we claimed to do so. What we are building are minds that will soon design, engineer and manufacture such technologies in Bharat,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the university again issued a statement where it apologised and stated that the representative at the pavilion had provided \u201cfactually incorrect information” in haste and without authorisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe at Galgotias University wish to apologise profusely for the confusion created at the recent AI Summit. One of our representatives, manning the pavilion, was ill-informed. She was not aware of the technical origins of the product and, in her enthusiasm for being on camera, gave factually incorrect information even though she was not authorised to speak to the press,” the educational institute stated.<\/p>\n

Government\u2019s Position<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the allegations, the university was directed to vacate its stall at the summit venue in the national capital. Soon after, the electricity supply to the pavilion was disconnected, and staff, along with students, proceeded to dismantle and clear the exhibit.<\/p>\n

IT Secretary S Krishnan said the government does not want any exhibitor to showcase items that are not their own. \u201cWe do not want such exhibits to continue,” he said.<\/p>\n
