Scientific paper

BOOTES is a robotic system, whose primary aim is to observe gamma-ray burst prompt emission. Since 1998 BOOTES has provided follow-up observations for more than 70 GRBs; the most important results obtained so far are the detection of an OT in the short/hard GRB 000313 error box, the detection of several optical after-glow for long/soft GRBs and the non-detection of optical emission simultaneous to the high energy emission for several GRBs (both long/soft and short/hard events). During the time of operation we have got triggers from CGRO/BATSE, BeppoSAX, HETE-2, INTEGRAL and Swift. Here we present our early detections of GRB optical emission using the 30 cm Bootes-1B telescope in the R.V and I-bands since the launch of Swift.
