UP's Galgotias University bought Chinese company Unitree's robotic dog, labelled it as 'Orion' and unveiled it at the India AI Impact Summit as part of its ₹350-crore AI ecosystem. The college's professor called the robot "aspirational India's symbol". The university was called "Fokatiya (useless) University" in a Community Note when it clarified it didn't build the robot after getting trolled.
