Tim and Adam Fanboy Over Dr. Charles Reinholtz, the Gandalf of Robotics
Tim and Adam welcome Dr. Charles Reinholtz to this episode of 'Trucking Forward.' Dr. Reinholtz recently retired as Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He was at Virginia Tech previous to that position.
Since 1983, Dr. Reinholtz has taught thousands of students about autonomy and robotics. Importantly, though, he channeled his vast knowledge of engineering into student development and hands-on learning, including competition teams and projects. It can be said that he and his teachings were the spark for not only Torc's founders, but for autonomous vehicles as a whole.
Listen in as Tim reminisces with one of this professors, and both he and Adam fanboy out over a genuinely devoted teacher.
