Remember that awesome robotic exoskeleton we told you NASA is working on? Well, it looks like Cyberdyne, Inc. (yes, that's the company's actual name) may have something even better in their HAL robot suit.

Since the ship was lost on its maiden voyage, people have making things out of wood and other materials recovered from the Titanic. Swiss watch maker Romaine Jerome is taking a similar approach salvaging bits from a different historical vehicle to make custom wrist-wear, the DeLorean.
