Asteroseismology explores the interior of pulsating stars by analysing their normal mode spectrum. The detection of a sufficient number of pulsation modes for seismic modelling of main sequence variables requires large quantities of high-precision time resolved photometry. Robotic telescopes have become an asset for asteroseismology because of their stable instrumentation, cost- and time-efficient operation and the potentially large amounts of observing time available. We illustrate these points by presenting selected results on several types of pulsating variables, such as d Scuti stars (main sequence and pre-main sequence), ? Doradus stars, rapidly oscillating Ap stars and ß Cephei stars, thereby briefly reviewing recent success stories of asteroseismic studies of main sequence stars.
