My name is Silas Hughes.

I am an engineer, a roboticist, and a sUAS pilot.

Based in Cambridge, MA, I work with companies and research groups to design, produce, and use robots of all shapes and sizes.

I've gotten to work with a lot great people.

Building is important to me.

Below are a few things I've built. Each photo has a story you can ask me about.
