  The prototype Robo-AO system at the Palomar Observatory 1.5-m telescope is
the world's first fully automated laser adaptive optics instrument. Scientific
operations commenced in June 2012 and more than 12,000 observations have since
been performed at the ~0.12" visible-light diffraction limit. Two new infrared
cameras providing high-speed tip-tilt sensing and a 2' field-of-view will be
integrated in 2014. In addition to a Robo-AO clone for the 2-m IGO and the
natural guide star variant KAPAO at the 1-m Table Mountain telescope, a second
generation of facility-class Robo-AO systems are in development for the 2.2-m
University of Hawai'i and 3-m IRTF telescopes which will provide higher Strehl
ratios, sharper imaging, ~0.07", and correction to {\lambda} = 400 nm.
