As the controversy over a Chinese robodog at the India AI Impact Summit is still raging online, Galgotias University is in trouble once again -- this time over South Korean soccer drone.
Professor Neha Singh, who had earlier claimed that a robodog developed by Chinese firm Unitree was created by the university, is seen saying in another clip that the "soccer drone" was developed by Galgotias.
"This is an interesting device. Its end-to-end engineering to its application, everything has been developed in the university," Professor Singh is seen telling a reporter.
She also alleged that Galgotias came up with India's first "drone soccer arena" on its campus. "It has a simulation lab and an application arena... that's India's first soccer arena on campus. Here, the product is being developed with more enhanced features," she added.
Amid the row, the authorities cut electrical power to the Galgotias University stall at the summit and asked them to vacate the venue immediately.
Professor Neha Singh earlier told DD News that the university invested more than Rs 350 crore in AI and has a dedicated AI wing on its campus. She introduced the Unitree Go2 robodog as Orion, claiming it was created by the university.
