An Indian university accused of passing off a robot made by China’s Unitree as its own at the India AI Impact Summit was asked to vacate its exhibition stall, in a controversy that cast a shadow over an event meant to showcase the country’s technological ambitions.

As the claim drew backlash, university representatives were asked to leave the expo on Wednesday, a government official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
