Ele frequentou o St. Mary Hall em Oxford e se formou em 1578. Hues se interessou por geografia e matemática e estudou navegação em uma escola criada por Walter Raleigh. Durante uma viagem a Newfoundland, ele fez observações que o levaram a duvidar dos valores publicados aceitos para variações da bússola. Entre 1586 e 1588, Hues viajou com Thomas Cavendish em uma circunavegação do globo, realizando observações astronômicas e tomando as latitudes dos lugares que visitaram. Começando em agosto de 1591, Hues e Cavendish novamente partiram em outra circunavegação do globo. Durante a viagem, Hues fez observações astronômicas no Atlântico Sul e continuou suas observações da variação da bússola em várias latitudes e no Equador. Cavendish morreu na viagem em 1592 e Hues voltou para a Inglaterra no ano seguinte.
Em 1594, Hues publicou suas descobertas na obra latina Tractatus de globis et eorum usu (Tratado sobre os globos e seu uso), que foi escrito para explicar o uso dos globos terrestres e celestes que foram feitos e publicados por Emery Molyneux no final de 1592 ou no início de 1593, e para encorajar os marinheiros ingleses a usar a navegação astronômica prática. O trabalho de Hues posteriormente foi para pelo menos 12 outras impressões em holandês, inglês, francês e latim.
Hues continuou a ter relações com Raleigh na década de 1590 e, mais tarde, tornou-se servo de Thomas Gray, 15º Barão Gray de Wilton. Enquanto Gray estava preso na Torre de Londres por participar do Bye Plot (uma conspiração de padres católicos romanos e puritanos̞), Hues ficou com ele. Após a morte de Grey em 1614, Hues atendeu Henry Percy, o 9º Conde de Northumberland, quando ele foi confinado na Torre; uma fonte afirma que Hues, Thomas Harriot e Walter Warner foram os companheiros constantes de Northumberland e conhecidos como seus "Três Magos", embora isso seja contestado. Hues ensinou o filho de Northumberland, Algernon Percy (que se tornaria o 10º Conde de Northumberland) em Oxford e, subsequentemente (em 1622-1623), o irmão mais novo de Algernon, Henry. Anos depois, Hues morou em Oxford, onde foi bolsista da universidade, e discutiu matemática e assuntos relacionados com amigos que compartilhavam da mesma opinião. Ele morreu em 24 de maio de 1632 na cidade e foi sepultado na Catedral da Igreja de Cristo.[1][2][3][4]

↑According to Markham, "Introduction", Tractatus de globis, at p. xxxviii, this version was published by Jodocus Hondius in 1624. However, WorldCat (OCLC8909075) suggests that the 1624 version was in Latin, not Dutch.
↑WorldCat (OCLC61335670) suggests that printings of this work were also made in 1639; see also A learned treatise of globes both coelestiall and terrestriall, with their severall uses, by Robert Hues, Open Library, Internet Archive, consultado em 10 de novembro de 2008. According to Markham, "Introduction", Tractatus de globis, p. xxxix, although the title page of the work states that the translator was "John Chilmead", this is generally believed to be an error as no such person was known to have lived at the time. Instead, the translator is believed to be Edmund Chilmead (1610–1653), a translator, man of letters and music teacher who graduated in 1628 and was a chaplain of Christ Church, Oxford.
