In the animation shown below what can be the mechanism used for this purpose? I know it can be achieved by using rack and pnion gear arrangement. But how are this set up arranged in classroom environment, I have no little idea. Please help me about this mechanism.
And what can be best suitable material for this wiping action Thanks

ROFL If that is a board cleaner, all I can say is the engineer went lunar buggy on it. – StainlessSteelRat Sep 06 '20 at 16:37

Yes it's a board cleaner, similar prototype kink: https://youtu.be/sShy2FVXS6g – Satya Sep 06 '20 at 16:43

Linear motors with a bunch of erasers is not the video you have above. – StainlessSteelRat Sep 06 '20 at 16:46

I have attached the link for the video which is there in the question. – Satya Sep 06 '20 at 16:47

Even both the video uses same mechanism, I guess – Satya Sep 06 '20 at 16:48

that is a scanner that converts the writing on the board into a digital file for remote sharing, and then erases the board.
These devices use either a rack-and-pinion gear arrangement with the rack running along the top edge of the board, or a flexible cable-and-pulley system with an electric motor coupled to the pulley through a set of reduction gears.
You can get an excellent idea of how the cable-and-pulley systems work by taking apart an inkjet printer and studying the print carriage transport mechanism; almost all inkjet printers use this arrangement to move the printhead across the paper surface.

Sir i think it's a blackboard cleaner, there are lots of similar prototype on YouTube like: https://youtu.be/sShy2FVXS6g – Satya Sep 06 '20 at 16:44

@Satya it first scans the image then cleans it - how did you miss that? – Solar Mike Sep 06 '20 at 17:56

I missed it because the video clip is too short, will edit my answer. – niels nielsen Sep 06 '20 at 18:16
