Caviar, a firm renowned for its bespoke high-end gadgets, has unveiled the Aladdin robot concept—a customized iteration of the Unitree G1 humanoid platform, reimagined as a collector’s item steeped in cultural allusions.
The Aladdin venture is explicitly aimed away from mass availability. Caviar frames it as a strictly exclusive, made-to-order creation. Each unit will be individually adorned with hand-applied gold detailing and embedded precious stones. The aesthetic draws heavily from traditional Eastern attire—specifically the chapan and caftan—mimicking the ceremonial vestments of Arab nobility.

Caviar has dubbed the Aladdin the inaugural luxury humanoid robot globally. Its foundation is the Unitree G1 platform, featuring 23 degrees of freedom, sophisticated dynamic stabilization systems, and advanced actuators. The robot stands 130 cm tall and weighs roughly 35 kg. While the internal engineering remains intact, the external shell has been completely overhauled to reflect cultural heritage and symbolic refinement.
Caviar explains that this endeavor serves as a contemporary reading of the Aladdin narrative from “One Thousand and One Nights.” Instead of a genie summoned from a lamp, the robot functions as a metaphor for artificial intelligence animating machinery. Aladdin is envisioned as a protagonist for the digital age, drawing power not from sorcery, but from intelligence and technological prowess.
Significant emphasis is placed on bespoke customization: clients have the ability to influence the selection of decorative motifs and symbolic features, which Caviar’s designers and engineers then integrate into the final product. Consequently, every robot is singular, and this initiative expands Caviar’s portfolio beyond luxury electronics into the realm of art robotics, showcasing how culture shapes the visual appeal of cutting-edge technology.
