Indian university’s Chinese robot dog claim at AI Impact Summit slammed as ‘shameless’

An Indian university has been asked to vacate its stall at the country’s flagship AI summit in New Delhi. The incident was sparked by a professor who reportedly tried to pass off a Chinese-made robot as one developed by her university. The silver mechanical dog was actually a model sold by Chinese start-up Unitree. It was put on display at a booth run by the private Galgotias University at the AI Impact Summit from February 16-20, 2026.
