Need Help IoT Project

#1
Hello everyone,

I have been assigned a project where I should create a device that can automatically clean whiteboard, this device should be able to detect edge and move across the whiteboard completely, I have no idea from where to start, I have searched the internet but the idea seems so rare, there a few implementations but they didn't explain the process or the material they used, please if anyone have an idea or a suggestion, I am all ears.

What if you have a bluetooth connected vertical bar that upon activation with the phone sweeps the length of the board and then goes back. For this you would need a mechanical implementation such that it's attached to the board, maybe wheels on top and bottom edge of the board. There are chalkboard erasers you could put in a line, maybe you could make them replacable. Maybe on a whiteboard sometimes a cleaning spray is necessary, this could be automated, either sprayed onto the surface of board or the sweeping arm itself.
