The Salamanca City Central school district, located on the Seneca Nation reservation in upstate New York, announced the suspension of its pilot project with Realbotix to introduce a humanoid robot at the high school. The school district cited the need to address student data privacy concerns and engage further with community stakeholders before proceeding with the initiative.

The decision followed significant opposition from educators and community members who raised multiple concerns, including the parent company's previous ownership of a sex doll manufacturer and questions about the security of student data. Critics also highlighted the particularly sensitive context of piloting such a program at a school serving a predominantly Native American population, drawing parallels to historical educational impositions on Indigenous communities.
