N2 - This paper describes the use of tele-robotic cranes in an international collaborative educational program. The program goal was to have a visiting foreign professor bring alternative teaching methods and experiences to engineering graduate students at the Escuela T́ecnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales in Madrid, Spain. In order to fully convey the alternative curriculum, the visiting faculty member needed to utilize his usual laboratory equipment, which consisted of various types of cranes. Because the cranes can be remotely operated from anywhere in the world via the Internet, they were well-suited for this international educational collaboration. The challenges of such a program, the use of the cranes, and results from student assignments are discussed.
