REM is a fast slewing automatic telescope dedicated to the prompt observation of GRB afterglows. The telescope automatically reacts to GCN alerts, beginning follow-up observations in both infra-red and optical wavelengths. Recent observations of GRBs have shown the capabilities of REM to begin follow up observation in the order of 10s of seconds after the burst.
