Indian university under fire for showcasing Chinese robot as its own
An Indian university is facing severe backlash after a professor presented a Chinese-made robotic dog as the university’s own creation at an AI summit in Delhi.
The controversy started when Neha Singh, a professor at Galgotias University, told state broadcaster DD News that a robot named “Orion” had been developed at the university’s Centre of Excellence.
Her interview gained attention when netizens identified the robot as the Go2 model developed by Unitree Robotics.
The robot used widely in research and education is commercially available for roughly $2,200. Social media users accused the university of passing off an imported product as indigenous innovation, sparking a wave of backlash during the high-profile gathering.
However, following the backlash, Galgotias University denied the claims of ownership of the robot’s hardware, saying the emphasis was on training students in artificial intelligence programming using globally available tools.
Later, the professor also clarified that her comments had been misunderstood, and she may not have communicated transparently.
The incident gained further attention after India’s IT minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, shared the video on his official X (formerly known as Twitter) account before deleting the post.
After the widespread backlash, the university was asked to vacate the exhibition stall, though faculty members said they had received no formal eviction notice.
Several popular TV shows are coming to an end in 2026 as networks and streaming platforms wrap up both long-running and newer series.
Among the major titles finishing this year are Outlander, ending after eight seasons and The Boys, concluding with its fifth season.
Netflix is also closing chapters on shows like The Witcher, Outer Banks and Queer Eye.
Long-running programs including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Jersey Shore: Family Vacation are preparing to air their final episodes.
Other series ending this year include Tell Me Lies, The Upshaws, Yellowjackets, The Chi, The Neighborhood and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
The cancellations cover a range of genres from drama to reality, showing the variety of programming affected.
Reasons for these endings are that some of shows have seen a drop in viewership, while others faced higher production costs.
In some cases, creators have chosen to conclude stories on their own terms to preserve the quality of the series.
Even though these series are ending, some stories will continue in spin-offs or new projects.
So while fans will miss the original shows, the worlds and characters they love might still come back in new ways.

David Henrie and wife Maria Cahill’s dream of a big family is coming true.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, announced on Sunday, April 5, that they are expecting their fourth child together.
“SURPRISE! Figured this moment was as good as ever to share the good news… Maria is 5 months pregnant!” the Wizards of Waverly Place star wrote on Instagram, noting that the pregnancy was a bit of a surprise.
“Crazy story. Long story short, Maria and I had made peace with the idea that the ‘big family’ dream might not be God’s plan for us. Which was fine, we’re grateful for our 3!” he wrote. “Through a miraculous encounter that would have never happened without @seekingbeauty.ewtn in Seville, Spain , and the intercession of St. Teresa of Avila, we are having our 4th!”
Editing the caption, Cahill added a message of support for everyone who is struggling with conceiving after her own experience with multiple miscarriages.
“While I’m excited for David to share this with you, I also know that it can be so hard to read pregnancy announcements when you’re the one that’s trying to have a baby and nothing seems to be working. I’ve been there – trying to be happy for others but simultaneously grieving a happiness that I wish could have been mine,” the former pageant queen wrote.
“While I’m so overjoyed to add a brother to our family, I can’t help but think of all of you women. Know that I see you all, am thinking of you today, and are praying hard for your future pregnancies,” she added.
The expecting parents welcomed their first child together — daughter Philomena Francesca Henrie — in 2019 after a blessing from Pope Francis. In 2020, they welcomed son James, and another daughter in 2022.
