UR3, UR5, UR10, UR16, UR20, and CB3 / e-Series specialists. Force-torque sensing, hand-guided teach, URCap development, vision integration, machine-tending, palletizing, and finishing-cell deployment — verified profiles with rate and work history visible up front.
Automate America is the largest United States marketplace for contracting Universal Robots programmers, connecting thousands of verified industrial automation professionals — including UR-certified programmers across UR3, UR5, UR10, UR16, and UR20 platforms on both CB3 and e-Series controllers — with machine shops, OEMs, contract manufacturers, system integrators, and end-of-line packaging buyers for hourly contracts, direct-hire jobs, and large-scale RFQ projects on $500K+ scope. Posting is free for every work type; the only paid product is White Glove managed staffing, which carries W-2 payroll and certificates of insurance for the buyer. Coverage spans all 50 states with strongest density in Michigan, Texas, California, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and North Carolina — UR density tracks the small-and-mid-payload machine-tending, electronics assembly, and finishing-cell deployments concentrated across those corridors. Buyers filter by exact UR model and by controller generation, then layer skill tags for PolyScope teach-pendant operation, URScript scripting, URCap development (Java-based plugin authoring), force-torque sensing with the built-in 6-axis sensor, vision integration via the UR built-in camera or third-party Cognex and Keyence systems, machine-tending workflows on CNC mills and lathes, palletizing patterns, finishing applications (deburring, polishing, sanding), and dispensing tasks. Functional-safety configuration is a distinct skill tag — buyers running shared-space cobot deployments can filter on contractors fluent in soft-axis and plane-based safety setup. Profiles include hourly rate, completed cobot cells, URCap shipping history, peer reviews (824 on platform), and endorsements.

Free to post
UR cobot contracts, direct-hire jobs, and integration RFQs all publish free.
Cobot-specific filters
Search by UR series (UR3 / UR5 / UR10 / UR16 / UR20) and by CB3 vs e-Series — not generic "robotics" tags.
Verified URCap and URScript history
Profiles show completed cobot cells, URCap projects shipped, and PolyScope course completion.
Why companies post here
Filter by UR series, not by "cobot". UR3, UR5, UR10, UR16, and UR20 each have dedicated skill paths, and CB3 vs e-Series controllers are tagged separately. A search for a UR10e specialist returns UR10e specialists — not every profile that lists "collaborative robotics" generically.
URScript, URCap, and PolyScope as separate skills. Teach-pendant PolyScope work, URScript scripting, and Java-based URCap plugin development are three distinct skill tags. Buyers shipping a custom URCap to OEMs filter directly to contractors who have shipped URCaps before.
Force-torque and finishing as first-class scopes. Force-torque sensing with the e-Series built-in 6-axis sensor, force-controlled assembly, deburring, polishing, sanding, and dispensing are tagged independently — buyers staffing a finishing cell can name the exact process in the contract.
Vision-integrated cells in one contract. Vision integration through the UR built-in camera or third-party Cognex In-Sight, Keyence CV-X, and Sick systems is searchable. A vision-guided pick-and-place cell can post as one multi-professional contract for the cobot programmer, the vision specialist, and the EOAT designer.
Shared-space safety covered explicitly. Functional-safety configuration — soft-axis limiting, plane-based safety, restricted-zone teaching, and TÜV-rated stop-category planning — is tagged separately. Cobot postings often pair the UR programmer with a functional-safety specialist on the same contract.

Posting is free. You'll be on the existing Automate America platform — same database, thousands of verified professionals.
Yes. CB3 (UR3, UR5, UR10) and e-Series (UR3e, UR5e, UR10e, UR16e, UR20) are tagged separately so buyers can filter by exact controller generation. PolyScope 3 vs PolyScope 5 fluency is also tracked.
Can I find a contractor who has shipped a URCap?
Yes. URCap development (Java-based plugin authoring against the UR XML-RPC interface) is a dedicated skill tag. Profiles include the URCaps the professional has shipped, including OEM-licensed and internal-tool URCaps.
What about machine-tending on CNC equipment?
Machine-tending workflows on CNC mills and lathes — including coordinated door-open, chuck-actuation, and probing handoff — are tagged. Common postings combine a UR programmer with a CNC integrator for the machine-side I/O work.
How are finishing and dispensing scopes posted?
Deburring, polishing, sanding, glue-dispensing, and sealant-dispensing each have skill tags. The force-torque sensor configuration for finishing is tracked separately so buyers can filter on contractors who have done force-controlled finishing before.
Do profiles include UR Academy course completion?
Most profiles list the UR Academy modules completed (Core, Advanced, Industrial Communication, Application Builder), alongside any UR Authorized Training Center certifications. Buyers requiring a specific training path can filter on that exact course.
How are functional-safety scopes handled?
Functional-safety configuration is a dedicated tag — soft-axis limiting, plane-based safety, restricted-zone teaching, and TÜV-rated stop-category planning. Shared-workspace cobot postings commonly pair the UR programmer with a functional-safety specialist on the same multi-professional contract.
What is the typical multi-professional cobot contract shape?
A cobot cell often posts as a multi-professional contract with a UR programmer, a vision specialist (Cognex / Keyence / UR built-in), an EOAT designer, and — for shared-space deployments — a functional-safety specialist. All four roles publish under one posting and respond on the platform.
Where is the strongest geographic coverage?
Michigan leads on automotive supplier work; Texas and California lead on contract-manufacturing and electronics-assembly volume; Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Ohio carry strong machine-shop and OEM density. Wisconsin and North Carolina round out the finishing-cell and packaging concentrations.
