  // middleware - A generic pipeline component function that can either
  //              continue the pipeline or interrupt it. The function is called
  //              with (robot, context, next, done). If execution should
  //              continue (next middleware, final callback), the middleware
  //              should call the 'next' function with 'done' as an optional
  //              argument.
  //              If not, the middleware should call the 'done' function with
  //              no arguments. Middleware may wrap the 'done' function in
  //              order to execute logic after the final callback has been
  //              executed.
  //
  // Returns nothing.
