To determine the total number of bolts of fiber needed for the robe, let's break down the problem step by step.

1. **Identify the given information:**
   - **Blue fiber:** The robe takes 2 bolts of blue fiber.
   - **White fiber:** The robe takes half as much white fiber as blue fiber.

2. **Calculate the amount of white fiber:**
   - Half of the blue fiber bolts = \( \frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1 \) bolt of white fiber.

3. **Compute the total number of bolts:**
   - Total bolts = Blue fiber bolts + White fiber bolts
   - Total bolts = \( 2 + 1 = 3 \) bolts.

4. **Final answer:**
   - The robe takes a total of 3 bolts of fiber.

\boxed{3}
