Fable

Designed around interlocking modules that can be combined into different robot configurations, the system includes joint modules, wheel modules and accessory components that connect without tools. Pupils assemble custom robots and program them using a block-based interface for younger learners or Python for more advanced users.

The accompanying software runs on Windows, macOS, Chromebook, iPad and Android tablets, and provides access to sensor data, camera input and motor controls through a unified programming environment. Shape Robotics supplies Fable to schools alongside curriculum materials, lesson plans and teacher training resources covering topics such as computational thinking, mechanical design, mathematics and physics.

The product is used in classroom settings, after-school clubs and robotics competitions, and supports cross-curricular projects that combine coding with subjects including biology, geography and art. Schools typically purchase Fable in classroom packs sized for group work, with software updates and educational resources delivered through the company's online portal.
