Galgotias University Professor Neha Singh Issues Clarification Over Chinese Robot Dog, Makes BIG Statement

New Delhi: Galgotias University professor Neha Singh has now issued a clarification regarding the controversy that erupted after she claimed to have created a Chinese-made robot dog. Her video went viral on social media, raising questions. Many people reported that the robot dog was manufactured in China, and Galgotias University's claim that it was their invention was false. Professor Neha Singh has now come forward, stating that her intentions were not wrong.

What did Neha Singh say?

Neha Singh stated that she never made the claim as is being reported. She added that perhaps she erred in articulating her point and it was misinterpreted. The controversy escalated to the point where the university was expelled from the AI ​​Summit.

Professor Neha Singh also admitted that she should have presented her point more clearly. Had she done so, no one would have been misled. Neha Singh said that people were very enthusiastic at the AI ​​Summit 2026. There was a lot of commotion around, and she was interacting with the media during this time. This may have led to some miscommunication. Neha Singh stated that this happened due to haste. She added that she had not claimed to have developed the machine. Neha Singh stated that she had never intended to claim to have developed it, but she was misunderstood.

"I should have been more clear. There was a lot of commotion. In such a situation, something went wrong. We had no such intention. We did not even change the robot's branding. I am sorry that what I said was different and was taken out of context," Neha Singh said.

Neha Singh clearly stated that she did not develop it. She added that it was purchased by her university as part of an AI investment. The purpose was to keep it in the university lab so that students could understand and study it. We made no claim that it was developed by us.

What claim was there in the video that led to the university being heavily trolled?

This entire controversy began with a short video clip. In this video, Neha Singh can be heard claiming that the robot dog named Orion was developed by Galgotias University's Center of Excellence. However, when users investigated, the truth was revealed. Users claimed that the robot dog was developed by the Chinese company Unitree Robotics. Now, Neha Singh has clarified this claim. She said, "We cannot claim ownership of something we did not develop. Our students have no contribution to it. It is not in our ethics and value system to claim someone else's invention as our own."

What did she say about the controversy surrounding the word 'developed'?

She said, "When I used the word 'developed' to describe it, it meant that we would learn and understand it." This will give students a chance to experiment. He said that perhaps we had made a mistake in our explanation. It was like what we were seeing as 6 might look like 9 to someone else. There's nothing more to it than that.

Galgotias University issues a press statement following the row over the display of a Chinese-made robodog at the AI Impact Summit expo. "We at Galgotias University, wish to apologise profusely for the confusion created at the recent Al Summit. One of our representatives, manning the pavilion, was ill-informed. She was not aware of the technical origins of the product and in her enthusiasm of being on camera, gave factually incorrect information even though she was not authorised to speak to the press... Understanding the organisers sentiment we have vacated the premises," the statement read.
