Today Shape Robotics delivers the first Fable Connect robots to the first customer. The customer is the Municipality of Køge, Denmark who will use the robots at their schools to provide remote education of homebound children.

The new Fable Connect product has been through a successful test-phase with end-customers from June to August. The first shipment consists of six units and in the coming weeks and months the Company plans to gradually increase the production and delivery volumes.

The start of delivery is a major milestone in the launch of the new product, the order is of minor value and will be invoiced in August.

Globally there are millions of children who are homebound and feel isolated, for example due to illness or anxiety. COVID-19 has only increased the need for remote socializing and teaching solutions. Therefore, we are excited to start delivering Fable Connect now and are eager to learn how it will be received by the market.”, says CEO, David Johan Christensen

The new product is launched in two versions, one aimed at B2C and one aimed at B2B. The B2B pricing includes a recurrent subscription model.
