Photos: Unitree G1 humanoid robot turned into luxury collector piece with gold accents

Luxury brand Caviar has unveiled the Aladdin, a unique luxury humanoid robot based on the Unitree G1 platform, marking the world’s first high-end reimagining of such a machine. Standing 130 cm tall and weighing about 35 kg, the robot features 23 degrees of freedom for fluid movement and balance. The design bridges advanced engineering with fine art, transforming the functional robot into a symbol of status and sophisticated aesthetics. Inspired by the ancient Middle Eastern tales of "One Thousand and One Nights," the Aladdin incorporates arabesque patterns, precious stones, and a deep black finish accented with gold, evoking the image of a moving artifact rather than typical industrial machinery. The robot’s silhouette draws from traditional Eastern menswear like the chapan and caftan, lending it a poised, noble appearance. Meticulous craftsmanship, including filigree work and flowing lines, obscures its mechanical nature, positioning the Aladdin as both a technological device and a sculptural art piece.
