New Delhi, February 18: A new controversy has emerged at the AI Impact Summit in Delhi after a video showed that Wipro showcased “its” dog robot at the event, sparking allegations online that the machine may actually be a Chinese-made product.

The caption stated that Wipro highlighted advancements in AI driven robotics and automation, with Varun Dubey, Head of Innovation at Wipro, speaking about the robot’s capabilities and its potential industrial applications. While the company representative described the robot’s features, he stopped short of explicitly claiming that it was developed in-house.

Despite that, several social media users argued that the presentation gave the impression of proprietary innovation. Observers pointed out that the robot closely resembles the Unitree Go2 manufactured by Unitree Robotics. The distinctive “O2” marking, commonly seen on the Unitree Go2, was reportedly still visible on the left side of the robot’s head.
