Galgotias University has been asked to vacate its stall at the AI Summit Expo immediately, government sources said on Wednesday (February 18, 2026).

The University came under fire over its display of a robodog (robotic dog) at the exhibition as an original creation, which turned out to be an imported product from China.

Controversy erupted after Galgotias University faced online backlash for showcasing a robotic dog labelled “Orion” at the AI Summit expo that critics said was actually a Chinese-made Unitree Go2 and not an in-house innovation.

Galgotias University faced huge backlash and accusations of misrepresenting imported tech as its own. Following the controversy, the university came out with a statement.
