Sankai said having Rasmussen test his high-tech marvel was "more than I could have hoped for" and added that he hoped "Denmark will take the first step" in popularising its use.

Cyberdyne shares its name with a robot maker in the "Terminator" sci-fi movie, while HAL is also the name of the on-board computer in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey".

The company in May plans to present its full-body suit, which assists both arms and legs, at the 2010 Shanghai Expo, saying the device allows users to carry a load of up to 70 kilograms (154 pounds) with one arm.
