The note finds the Bosch-backed business grappling with an uncertain future, as it pauses all operations and re-evaluates its future. > Launched in 2015, as part of Bosch’s Startup Platform, the company debuted its home robot at CES the following year. It took close to two-years, but the company finally began shipping the adorable little robot to backers in late-2017. Kuri also appeared on stage at our robotics event, back in May.
