Abstract
The vision of the Fable modular robotic system
is to transform the development of robots from a process
performed mainly by experts, to an easily accessible and
motivating activity that enables a large range of users to
assemble and animate their own robotic ideas. To achieve this
vision, the Fable system consists of a range of modules equipped
with sensors and actuators, which users can easily assemble into
a wide range of robots within seconds. The robots are user-
programmable on several levels of abstraction ranging from a
simple visual programming language to powerful conventional
ones. This paper provides a brief overview of the concept, design
and state of development for the second version of the Fable
modular robotic system.
