The Fable robot makes it fun and easy to teach 21st century skills and STEM
Fable is a modular construction system that students can use to create their own robot in just a few minutes.
Easily build your own robots
The Fable robot system can be used across a range of subjects and classes, allowing students to gain skills they’ll need in the 21st century. The Fable system is composed of three different module types: Function modules, Build modules and Extension modules. Fable is an open-ended system with advanced functionality. Fable encourages students to be both creative and innovative as they build robot prototypes to meet needs in the real world.

Build your own robots in seconds
Combining function, build and extension modules gives students endless possibilities to create different types of robots.
With the Fable educational robot kits, you can teach programming, robotics, and innovation in middle school, secondary schools, and even at university level.
All educators can get an online demonstration.
Easy to Program
Robots must be programed in order to do something. It is easy for students to start programming using a simple block-based language. If however, students are ready for or already using Python then the sky is the limit for what an experienced student can do!
The programming interface is divided into different levels depending on the students’ level of competence. This begins with very simple visual programming with Blockly, to more advanced Blockly programming and finally versatile programming with Python. This helps students gradually progress. It is also possible to perform simple data processing on the interface with graphs or to log data to files for later processing e.g. in MS Excel. The interface provides an easy-to-understand introduction to get started.

Smartphone app to program emotions and code with the phone’s sensors
Program completely wirelessly with Fable Blockly on Chromebook and iPad
Four simple steps and you’re off
Insert the USB dongle in your computer
Download and install the program here
Click on the dongle and the movement module until they are the same colour
Start the program and use your mouse to combine programming blocks like a jigsaw puzzle. Run the program. Now your computer will emit a sound and Fable will move as you have requested.
Make a Social Robot
What does it take to make a robot social and engaging?
With the Fable Face app you can use your phone to give Fable a face! You have the ability to control Fable‘s expression using the eyes. Change the iris or eyelid colours, the shape of the eyes and the overall expression. You can also activate a sound or take pictures with a camera and play with the sensors within the phone ie.: magnetometer, accelerometer and so much more. Download Fable Face here. It’s free!
