VerhoBot is an open-source smart curtain robot designed to automate existing curtain rails. The project was born from a simple observation: many people use blackout curtains to improve sleep quality, but those same curtains prevent natural sunlight from entering the room when it is time to wake up. This challenge is particularly noticeable during the Finnish summer, when long daylight hours and bright nights can disrupt normal sleep patterns. VerhoBot addresses this problem by providing a compact robotic platform capable of opening and closing curtains automatically according to schedules, user commands, or future smart-home automations. VerhoBot is designed from the beginning as an open-source project. Every aspect of the system including hardware design, firmware, mechanical components, and future software integrations is intended to be accessible, modifiable, and extensible by makers, students, engineers, and hobbyists.
