Galgotias varsity leaves AI Summit with robodog's tail between its legs

The internet never forgets and the dog-eat-dog world of social media probably won't let you pass off a Chinese product as a Greater Noida innovation; private university Galgotias found out the hard way on being forced out of the AI Impact Summit Wednesday.

University representatives showcased a robotic dog named 'Orion' Tuesday, claiming it was developed by the Centre of Excellence at Galgotias, prompting social media users to highlight that it was a Unitree Go2, manufactured by China's Unitree Robotics and commonly used in research and education worldwide.

Bitten but not shy, the private university made a dogged attempt to brazen it out with bizarre justifications through Wednesday, such as one person's six could be another's nine, but issued an apology later in the evening after the organisers cut power supply to its stall at the event and asked the occupants to leave.
