The robotic dog in question was recently displayed at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, where the university courted controversy after trying to pass off the Chinese robot as its own.  In a February 26 letter to the university, PETA wrote, “It may be used to replace real dogs used in shows who we can then rehome to loving families or in a sanctuary.” It added, “The donation of Orion would show that Galgotias University is committed to animal welfare and using technology for good.
