Setback
Ten years after it was founded, Moley had still not installed a single robot kitchen, although some people had paid deposits.
A delay, pause or setback
What the source says
“So far, Moley hasn't installed a single robot, but expects the process to begin in the next three to six months.”
What it means
Home cooking robots, from Moley Robotics, Posha, Vorwerk (Thermomix), is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. A setback stays on the record next to the milestones; the stage moves down only when the rules say so.
Human help: The maker hasn't said whether people help it remotely.
