Scientific paper

We report on the ongoing projects at the Astronomical Institute Ondrejov. The EN (European Fireball Network) is based on 11 photographic stations and has already provided simultaneous optical data for 100 GRB triggers. A summary and discussion of the obtained results are given as well as discussion of detected candidates. The BART (Burst Alert Robotic Telescope) is a 25 cm aperture remotely controlled system in test operation. The OMC (Optical Monitoring Camera), prepared by a wide international collaboration for the INTEGRAL satellite (launch 2001), will also have capability for the detection of optical transients and optical afterglows of GRBs, assuming that their rate is higher than the GRB rate (caused by different beaming). .
