1. A force amplification mobile robotic system comprising:
a mobile platform with capacity for displacement in different types of terrain;
a tool changer;
force transducers;
video cameras;
an industrial robot;
an effector for pipes;
an effector for plates,
support of effectors;
a power generator;
an air compressor;
a real-time industrial computer;
a guiding ring coupled to at least one of the force transducers, the at least one of the force transducers being coupled to a wrist of the industrial robot, the industrial robot configured to move responsive to a force exerted by an operator on the guiding ring;
a guiding tool coupled to the guiding ring, the guiding tool being configured to allow the operator to be able to move a load, supported by the industrial robot, over a safe distance of operation, the guiding tool comprising a control wheel and a tube extending between the guiding ring and the control wheel.
