Tell a robot what to erase, and it finds it and wipes it off the board.

Purdue StarkHacks · April 2026 · Team of four

What it is

A whiteboard-erasing robot driven by natural language. You say what to erase; the robot locates it on the board and drives over to wipe it.

My role

I owned the computer vision and path planning: finding the target on the board, locating the robot, and plotting its route. I also helped with the ESP32 firmware.

Result

95%

targeting success.

How it works

  1. You say what to erase
  2. A single Gemini 2.5 Flash vision pipeline finds it on the board
  3. The planner plots the robot's route
  4. The ESP32 drives the robot there and wipes it
