RoboNet-II aims at obtaining a first census of cool terrestrial exoplanets and competes for the first detection of
an exoplanet of Earth mass or below.
== Research Highlights ==
RoboNet data so far contributed to the detection of five [[extra-solar planets]] (in the order of announcement of
their discovery)
* [[OGLE-2005-BLG-071L|OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb]]
* [[OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb]] (the most Earth-like planet at the time of its discovery)
* [[OGLE-2005-BLG-169L|OGLE-2005-BLG-169Lb]]
* [[OGLE-2006-BLG-109L|OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lb]] and [[OGLE-2006-BLG-109L|OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lc]] (a pair similar to Jupiter and Saturn in the Solar system)
