TITLE: ROBOTIC WHITEBOARD ERASER

I. PROJECT’S PURPOSE

Here we propose a whiteboard eraser robot that is very efficient and only erases

traces of line on the board by following the traces. Our system uses an innovative

approach through which the robotic vehicle smartly traces lines and erases those lines

only. It can be used for part as well as full whiteboard cleaning. Sometimes we need

only a few lines cleaned, at such times it only erases those lines connected and leaves

the rest on the board. The purpose of the project is to create and build an automatic

whiteboard eraser that will systematically work through the whole surface and

successfully remove all the ink.

II. PROJECT FEATURES

• Power Magnets

• To minimize the area on the board that has not been erased

• The sensor on the side is telling the Arduino that there is a possibility to turn around and

erase below the previous erased strip without falling off the board.

• The sensor is being used to detect a change in level on the whiteboard surface.
