Galgotias University faces severe backlash after a viral video surfaced showing a representative claiming its Centre of Excellence developed "Orion", later exposed as Unitree Go2, a Chinese AI powered robodog commercially available for Rs 2–3 lakh. The Greater Noida institution clarified it never claimed to have built the device, calling it a student learning tool procured from Chinese robotics firm Unitree. However, an X community fact-check directly contradicted this, stating: "They have named the robot 'Orion' and explicitly claimed it was developed by their team." The university defended its global sourcing strategy, citing technology imports from the US, China, and Singapore, saying, "Innovation knows no borders. Learning should not either."
