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.
The actual reason is space-flight aesthetics, right?
Space stuff itself being white for insulation purposes.
I think the actual reason is that it looks scifi and sick.

Wait… KUKA?!
(That’s means cunt in some Spanish speaking countries.)
Yup, but it’s a German company.

I know.
Oh yeah I forgot about factory robot arms, those totally do get covered in a thick layerr of grime after running for a few hours/days/months.
And making them danger colored is important too. Since soft squish humans need to keep clear of them.
Absurd, you didn’t even read the meme. Space stuff is white because space is racist.
*spacist
Space can’t be racist, space is black.
That’s why NASA are trying to colonize it
Oh hardly, by the word of Star Trek TOS space is full of generally humanoid and conventionally attractive beings, often green or blue in color.
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.
That is only a side effect. It’s white (or metallic) to reflect as much radiation from the sun as possible, to prevent overheating.
