Descripción
This article reviews the situation for robotization of telescopes and
instruments at the Antarctic station Concordia on Dome C. A
brain-storming meeting was held in Tenerife in March 2007 from which
this review emerged. We describe and summarize the challenges for
night-time operations of various astronomical experiments at conditions
``between Earth and Space'' and conclude that robotization is likely a
prerequisite for continuous astronomical data taking during the
2000-hour night at Dome C.
