NEW DELHI (AP) — A private Indian university was booted from a top artificial intelligence summit in New Delhi on Wednesday after one of its staffers displayed a commercially available robotic dog made in China, claiming it was the university’s own innovation.

According to two government officials, Galgotias University was ordered to take down its stand at the summit a day after the university’s professor of communications, Neha Singh, told state-run broadcaster DD News that robotic dog Orion was developed by the Centre of Excellence at the university.

Internet users, however, quickly identified the robot as the Unitree Go2, sold by China’s Unitree Robotics with a starting price tag of $1,600 and used widely in research and education.

Then, in a new statement on Wednesday, the university apologized for the confusion and said Singh, its representative at the AI summit pavilion, was not authorized to talk to the media and was “ill-informed.”

“She was not aware of the technical origins of the product and in her enthusiasm at being on camera, gave factually incorrect information,” it said.




I would have to be on hella drugs to think this was invented and built in India in the first place.

After learning the news, she said "You kick me out, now I kick your dog."

If you work with Indian engineers this will be no surprise, I could write a book.

They should have known it wasn't from India when it didn't defecate on the floor.

Many of them are from the higher caste in India so they cannot handle being corrected. They will make up things at will, they will almost always demand to speak on the phone so the idiotic thing they claim will not have an evidence trail.
