It’s worth noting that Galgotias University purchased a robot dog from China and proudly presented it as Made in India at the AI ​​Summit. Furthermore, they declared a Chinese robot worth ₹2.50 lakh (approximately $2.5 million) worth of robots worth ₹350 crore (approximately $3.5 billion) as Made in India and named it Orion. This fraud also left no stone unturned in tarnishing the nation’s reputation.
