Sharing a room with someone else is never easy unless you're got there first and took the fanciest place.
Curious things of the past can be found anywhere, and especially in Europe, where lots of peoples lived and actively moved for hundreds of years.
Today we *virtually* go to Augsburg, Germany to see what archaeologists discovered there over a century.

Snake-shaped robots are gaining popularity due to their navigability and mobility. For example, during rescue works on land or underwater pipes and cables maintenance.
Now Chinese specialists have developed a robotic snake repairer for work in space. The 1.5-meter-long "reptile" has nine segments that can be independent, exchange energy, and act together. It's even possible to use them as four tentacles in tandem.
The snake's coordination even allows for writing with chalk. It has been tested on Earth, but it needs additional work before being sent into orbit, in particular, to reduce its mass. Then, it'll be possible to keep the manipulator "alive" almost forever, replacing defective segments with new ones.
A snake is supposed to wriggle and curve. To do this, each segment of the robotic version rotates. As a result, the torque reaches 190 Newtons per metre, like Honda's famous Civic's.
