Scientific paper

The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System (BOOTES) is considered as a part of the preparations for the ESA's satellite project INTEGRAL, and is currently being developed in Spain, in collaboration with two Czech institutions. It will make use of two sets of wide-field cameras 240 km apart, and two robotic 30 cm telescopes. All the instruments will be placed in Southern Spain. It is expected that BOOTES will provide rapid follow-up observations of GRBs detected by BATSE, BeppoSAX, RossiXTE and future experiments, as well as clarify whether optical transients, related or not to GRBs, are indeed of cosmic origin.
