"Although there was a leaflet introducing the robot's features at the exhibition area, the use of a paper stamp with the logo of Hanoi University of Science and Technology to mark for preservation has caused some visitors to misunderstand, which is regrettable. The school sincerely thanks readers for their attention and comments and will seriously accept and learn from the experience for similar events" - the press release stated.

Regarding the responsibility of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, upon receiving the feedback, Hanoi University of Science and Technology said that the school's leadership immediately directed, reviewed, and requested relevant individuals and departments to seriously explain the feedback.

Representatives of the research team and relevant departments have properly performed their accountability responsibilities and provided full information when requested.

The leaders of Hanoi University of Science and Technology have severely criticized the relevant departments for the above mentioned negligence. Hanoi University of Science and Technology has also reported to the competent authorities.
