The drone waits at the edge of the globe until you pick a pin.
PMO ROBOTICS · INTERNATIONAL NEW WORLD LAB
From a documented problem to a testable machine.
An independent robotics and advanced-technology lab designing practical systems for accessibility, infrastructure, disaster resilience, safety, and public benefit.

Simulation
Talk to HALO
SIMULATED
Talk to HALO is a simulation. No headset, sensor or nurse station is connected. No hardware exists yet. The trace is drawn by the page. It is not a brain wave recording and it is not a measure of accuracy.
Pick one of the 11 proposed commands. YES, HELP, STOP, PAIN, REPOSITION, CANCEL and GO wait for a confirm before the nurse screen counts them. NO, I'M OK, COME HERE and WATER are counted when you select them. STOP and CANCEL here are labels only. They are not a safety-rated stop.
SIMULATED signal. Not a brain recording. No hardware exists yet. No accuracy claim.
Eight simulated traces stand in for the planned eight-channel design target. They are not a recording.
Catalog globe
Problem globe
Turn the globe and choose a program. A sketch drone flies to that pin and shows the problem text already published on the project page. Only the Hillsborough pin uses a published place. The other pins are catalog markers, not incident locations.
This public globe does not replace the lab monitor map. Globe Locate search on that map still works.
Bench sketch
Your own bot
Combine a head, a body and a tool from published program ideas. Name the sketch and download a card. This is not a build order and it is not hardware.
Sketch only. Not hardware and not a build order.
Flagship research program
HALO ACCESS
A constrained, non-invasive intent-communication research system for deliberately trained commands. It does not claim unrestricted thought reading, clinical efficacy, certification, or completed hardware.
The first credible goal
Determine whether a wearable eight-channel research prototype can classify a small set of trained commands under controlled conditions and translate them into bounded computer actions.
Open the public project overview →- 01Current stage
Requirements, architecture, hazards, training plan, and visual build record.
- 02Next build
Inactive fit model followed by a controlled electrical bench prototype.
- 03Evidence gate
Signal quality, accuracy, false activation, latency, comfort, privacy, and independent review.
Public evidence standard
What exists, what comes next, and what is not claimed
Engineering definition
Mission requirements, preliminary architecture, risk boundaries, build sequence, and acceptance criteria.
Prototype preparation
Component selection, supplier readiness, controlled review packages, and funding qualification.
Physical validation
No performance, safety, clinical, certification, deployment, or customer outcome is claimed without dated test evidence.
Truth rule: AI-generated images show design direction only. Physical prototypes, test data, independent reviews, partner commitments, and awards will be published separately when they exist.
Public path
Monitor, Verify, Solve, Fund, Build
Public projects move through these five stages.
MonitorCollect documented problems and source records.VerifyReview evidence and approve the need.SolveDevelop and review a bounded solution brief.FundQualify an open call and approve a deadline-linked pitch.BuildProceed only with funding, safety review and explicit approval.
Founder
Maurice “Moe” Morrison
Maurice Morrison is the founder of PMO Robotics, International New World Lab. He is also the artist and owner of Picassomoes, a tattoo and piercing studio in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Picassomoesllc runs both.
He builds his own software. Working with AI tools, he directs the product, design, testing and launch of every platform he makes. That includes PMO Robotics and its mission globe, a world map for finding real problems worth solving, plus halocore.us and the PMO Bot software platform.
HALO is his first hardware build. It started in hospitals, where he saw patients hooked up to monitors while the staff meant to watch them were on their phones. It also started at home, with families who cannot talk with a loved one who is nonverbal. His example is a grandmother he calls Nana.
HALO ACCESS is his answer. It is a headset concept meant to help a person who cannot speak say yes, no, help or stop. Every yes and every safety command needs a confirmation step, so the device never decides for the person.
In the tattoo chair, Moe listens first and then draws for the body. He builds HALO the same way. Listen first. Then build for the person.
The test matters because life matters.
When no one else can hear them, HALO can, and will.
His philosophy:
If it works it's a breakthrough. If it doesn't, start over and try again. We will never quit. There's always something to learn, there's always something to build, and there's always something to create.
HALO ACCESS is a concept in development. It is not a built or approved medical device. It has not been reviewed or cleared by FDA.
