Overview Fourten years after the celebration of the First Workshop on robotic autonomous observatories in Málaga, the number of automatic astronomical facilities worldwide has significantly grown, as well as the level of robotisation, autonomy, and networking, with many recent developments motivated by the search of new electromagnetic counterparts to…

This year, we commemorate a quarter-century of the Global BOOTES Network, a network of robotic telescopes that has revolutionized the way we observe and understand the universe. Since its inception 25 years ago, BOOTES has been a pillar in the field of astrophysics, contributing a wealth of significant knowledge in…

The BOOTES network of telescopes dedicated to the search for transient events in the sky has just been completed with the construction of the last observatory! This milestone means that we now have global coverage and can observe the night-sky constantly and completely, with observatories in both hemispheres and longitude…

The project, led by astronomers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), completes its coverage of the sky in the Northern Hemisphere with the Javier Gorosabel telescope. Last night, the fifth robotic astronomical station of the BOOTES (Burst Observatory and Optical Sporadic Source Exploration System) network was inaugurated at…
