Abstract
We present a project devoted to the applications of astrometric and photometric astronomical observations with robotic telescopes for systematic research in fields relevant to astrobiology: photometric detection of extrasolar planets, photometric follow-up of solar-type stars, and astrometry of near-Earth objects (NEOs). This research will be done with a network of 50 cm robotic telescopes equipped with CCD cameras. The stations will be located in different geographical locations in Spain.
