RoboNet-1.0 was a prototype global network of UK-built 2m robotic telescopes, the largest of their kind in the world, comprising the [[Liverpool Telescope]] on La Palma (Canary Islands), the [[Faulkes Telescope North]] on Maui (Hawaii), and the [[Faulkes Telescope South]] in Australia, managed by a consortium of 10 UK universities under the lead of [[Liverpool John Moores University]]. For the technological aims of integrating a global network to act
effectively as a single instrument, and maximizing the scientific return by applying the newest developments in [[e-Science]], RoboNet adopted the intelligent-agent architecture devised and maintained by the [[eSTAR]] project.
