strong and healthy in body

strong and healthy, not weak or easy to hurt

2

strong and reliable (system, plan)

working very well and not breaking or failing easily, even when conditions are hard

نمط الاستخدام: a robust [system/plan/solution]; robust [process/measures]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse 'robust' with 'complicated' when talking about systems. A 'robust system' is strong and dependable, not necessarily complex. Also, learners may use 'robust' for people’s personalities here; in that case, 'strong' or 'confident' is usually better unless you mean a strong style of action or argument.
المرادفات
reliable (focuses on being dependable; less emphasis on strength under stress than 'robust') | resilient (emphasizes the ability to recover quickly after damage or problems)
الأضداد
fragile (easily broken or harmed, especially about systems or arrangements that fail under stress) | weak (not strong or effective; may fail or perform poorly)

3

having a strong rich flavor

having a strong and full taste or smell

نمط الاستخدام: a robust [flavor/taste/coffee/wine]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use 'robust' instead of 'spicy'. 'Robust' means strong and full in flavor, but not necessarily hot or spicy.
المرادفات
full-bodied (commonly used for wine or coffee; emphasizes richness and depth) | strong (very general; does not always carry the positive, rich connotation that 'robust' often has in food contexts)
الأضداد
mild (describes a soft, gentle flavor or smell without much strength) | bland (suggests very weak or boring taste, often with a negative feeling)
