The actual reason is space-flight aesthetics, right?
Space stuff itself being white for insulation purposes.
Pure white is associated with precision and cleanliness across basically all cultures. Maybe someday we’ll have robots in real working situations that develop a coating of grease and grime on them, but for now they only really exist in a lab and the lab wants everything pristine.
Real working robots are usually yellow or orange. KUKA may be the reason for this as it seems to be their brand color as well.
ABB robots that I’ve seen have all been orange too, but on their website it’s funny because they promote white ones, but I. The background they’re all orange.
Absurd, you didn’t even read the meme. Space stuff is white because space is racist.
White stuff in a dark space makes it easier to spot when shined upon. And outer space is a pretty fucking dark place.
I’d use neon lime instead or glow in the dark coating, but it’s expensive or annoying to the eye.
Robots should be red for strength, green for agility, and blue for precision.
I’d think that light colours make it easier to see if plastic panels have cracked or there’s leaks in hydraullics or scorched spots.
It’s popular to make robots white because it shows scuffs, falls, and damage more easily. Which helps developers figure out how they fall or where they scuff from mistaken actions.
Sign my petition to make all robots neon colored.
