The Loki Cleaning Robot, Here to End Janitors
To the list of jobs that will not exist in the future, we must add Janitor. Loki Robotics, a San-Francisco-based startup, is developing an autonomous cleaning robot (also called Loki). At first blush, it doesn't look like much: A single robot arm and two storage bins. Then you see what it can do in the bathroom: And in the kitchen: It's not clear how much of what the 'bot is doing in the videos is purely autonomous versus being teleoperated, as it has the capacity for both. But the company's goal is full-autonomous. At present they're using teleoperation to train the 'bot when it encounters tasks it can't yet handle autonomously. As with Somatic, the other cleaning robot we looked at, Loki Robotics plans to roll the robots out with a monthly lease model. And while their target market will be offices, with the 'bot to replace cleaning staff, the company's marketing copy is written as if addressing a different audience: 'We spend over a year of our lives doing chores – time that could be spent raising kids, calling grandparents, making music, building things. We believe tasks like scrubbing toilets don't belong on a human to-do list.' In other words, don't worry about the unemployed janitorial staff: Call your Nana and sign up for piano lessons!

Is your body holding on to anger? An expert answers
Just because you have stopped feeling angry does not mean your body is not holding on to it. Sometimes, instead of facing anger head-on, we hide it under busyness or trying to stay positive all the time. However, what we do not understand is that our body holds on to what the mind tries to push away. Do you wake up at odd hours with tight shoulders? Do you get annoyed over tiny things? Well, these might seem random, but they are often signs that your body is carrying something deeper. ALSO READ: Think you have only 7 chakras in your body? The 8th one is the most powerful Somatic and Kundalini teacher Brett Larkin shares how you can tell if your body is holding on to anger. If small frustrations make you react in a big way, it could mean there is unresolved anger sitting in your nervous system, even if you think you are doing fine. Constant clenching is your body's quiet way of saying, 'Hey, I am still holding onto something!' Physical tension often shows up when emotions have not been fully released. That jumpy, agitated feeling you cannot explain? It might be anger that never got a chance to move through you. Unprocessed emotions can turn into excess, jittery energy. In traditional Chinese medicine, this time of night is linked to the liver, the organ connected to anger. If you often find yourself wide awake during these hours, your body might be trying to process stored emotions. If slowing down makes you feel uneasy, it could be because stillness leaves space for old emotions, like anger, to rise to the surface. Sometimes, we stay busy to avoid feeling what is underneath. Anger does not always explode outward. Sometimes, it gets stuffed down so deep that it leaves you feeling numb. If you feel disconnected from your emotions, your body might be protecting you from feelings you have not fully faced yet. A post shared by Brett Larkin 🧘♂️Uplifted Yoga (@larkinyogatv) Well, if your body is reacting in a similar way, it is time to understand your buried emotions and give yourself the time to truly heal.

Somatic Health and Kinetisense to Commence a Groundbreaking Clinical Study with Rothman Orthopaedics
NEW YORK, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Somatic Health and Kinetisense are launching a cutting edge clinical study in partnership with Rothman Orthopaedics to evaluate the impact of their platform on pain, disability, and cost reduction in Musculoskeletal (MSK) patients. Rothman-supervised physicians and physical therapists will deploy Somatic's solutions incorporating a 3D sensorless motion caption system which is powered by Kinetisense—along with at-home components—to safely extend care between in-clinic sessions and increase patient engagement. Dr. Arnold Milstein, Director of Stanford Medicine's Clinical Excellence Research Center, will advise on study design and execution. According to William Brossman, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Somatic, 'the study aims to quantify reductions in healthcare costs by supporting early intervention, effective triage, and injury prevention—reducing the need for surgery or long-term MSK care.' The study will also track outcomes such as reductions in workplace injuries, fewer lost workdays, and a decline in workers' compensation claims—ultimately promoting a safer, healthier, and more productive workforce. AI Meets Evidence-Based Movement Science At the core of the offering is Somatic's advanced corrective exercise engine, powered by proprietary algorithms developed in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh School of Rehabilitation Science (SHRS)—a national leader in physical therapy research and clinical innovation. This advanced AI system translates the Kinetisense real-time 3D motion data into actionable insights, enabling users to identify and correct faulty movement patterns, reduce pain, and prevent reinjury. The engine seamlessly integrates with Somatic's extensive library of personalized home exercise programs (HEPs), supported by trusted institutions including Stanford Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, and UCSF. The video library includes over 4,200 exercises mapped to 1,000+ ICD-10 codes, and also offers clinicians the flexibility to upload their own content—delivering a fully customizable, interactive rehabilitation experience. 'Clinicians will now have a full-scale, evidence-based platform to objectively assess and track patient progress—even post-discharge,' said Dr. Tony Zhang, CEO of Somatic Health. 'With Somatic's hybrid 'online + clinic' model, we're helping people identify risk factors like falls and MSK dysfunction early, and deliver ongoing, proactive care.' Dr. Ryan Comeau, CEO and Co-Founder of Kinetisense, added: 'Our healthcare systems have long lacked scalable, evidence-based MSK care and injury prevention. By combining our sensorless 3D motion capture with Somatic's platform, we can deliver continuous, data-driven MSK support that improves clinical outcomes, enhances operational efficiency, and supports healthier workforces.' Introducing 'CoachAI': Your AI-Powered MSK Health Guide AI is also transforming how providers engage with patients. Somatic's new virtual assistant, CoachAI, offers employees and patients a personal AI 'coach' to guide them through injury prevention and recovery—every step of the way. CoachAI delivers daily, real-time support through personalized feedback, smart reminders, and progress tracking. The result? Higher patient engagement and greater adherence to treatment plans, reduced MSK-related costs, and better outcomes. Its secure, proprietary design sets it apart from generic models like ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek. 'Unlike open-source AI models that pose privacy risks and often lack reliability, Somatic's AI is purpose-built for healthcare,' said Jasmel Acosta, VP of AI at Somatic. 'It protects patient privacy as required by HIPAA, streamlines clinical workflows, and supports both doctors and patients with trusted, actionable insights.'

Soul Star Chakra: Think you have only 7 chakras in your body? The 8th one is the most powerful
Most of us have heard of the seven main chakras in the body. But did you know there is an eighth chakra? It is called the Soul Star Chakra or the Aura Chakra, and it is believed to be one of the most powerful energy centers human beings have. The Soul Star Chakra connects you to your higher self, your divine purpose, and even the universe as a whole. While the seven main chakras are located within the physical body, the 8th chakra is part of your energetic body. According to Master Energy Healer Patricia Bonnard, this chakra acts as a bridge between your earthly life and the spiritual realm. It is like a gateway to your soul's wisdom and your true essence. Keep reading to know all about the soul star chakra in detail. ALSO READ: Do you know that blowing the Shankh activates your Vishuddha (throat) Chakra? Unlike the other chakras, the Soul Star Chakra sits outside your body. It is about 6 to 12 inches above the top of your head, just above your crown chakra. Some say it is closer; others believe it could be as far as three feet away. Either way, it is in your energy field, not your physical form. And because of its position above the crown chakra, it is often referred to as the eighth chakra. This chakra is all about spiritual awareness, intuition, and tapping into higher states of consciousness. It is believed to give us access to other realms, like the ones explored in past-life healing, shamanic journeys, or psychic experiences. In Sanskrit, it is called Vyapini, which means "omnipresent." It represents the idea that we are all part of something limitless and universal and helps dissolve the illusion that we are separate individuals. Instead, the Soul Star Chakra reminds us that we are all connected through one universal energy. Think of your higher self as the version of you that sees things clearly, without the filters of fear, ego, or past experiences. The 8th chakra is how we connect to that version of ourselves. It holds clarity beyond the everyday worries, emotions, and beliefs that can cloud our judgment. It is like having a direct line to your soul's wisdom. ALSO READ: An expert explains how to heal your Throat Chakra in 5 easy steps Somatic and Kundalini teacher Brett Larkin explains that in Kundalini Yoga, the eighth chakra is what gives you the ability to uplift others, inspire, and even protect. It is the energy people feel when you walk into a room, even before you say a word. A post shared by Brett Larkin 🧘♂️Uplifted Yoga (@larkinyogatv) So, while the traditional seven chakras focus on your physical and emotional well-being, the 8th chakra is about remembering that you are more than just a body; you are a soul with deep cosmic roots.
