TARS is the matte-black slab robot of Christopher Nolan's *Interstellar* — what a machine might look like if Mies van der Rohe had designed it. Drawing on the *2001* monolith and post-war minimalist sculpture, its language is absolute restraint: rectangular brushed-aluminum slabs, hard right angles, no anthropomorphism.

This design system distills that austerity into an interface — near-pure space black grounds, cool metallic grays, sparse monospaced data readouts, and a single cold cyan-white screen tint. Vast negative space carries the weight.
