The paper presents the basic principles of the design of the robotic network of optical telescopes MASTER, developed to study the prompt optical emission of gamma-ray bursts. The robotic telescopes MASTER II near Kislovodsk, Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk and Blagoveshchensk were installed and started to operate, thanks to the support of Sternberg astronomical institute, High altitude astronomical station of the Pulkovo observatory, Ural state university, Irkutsk state university, Blagoveshchensk pedagogical university. The network span over the longitudes is greater than 6 hours.
