She was stronger, larger, more robust physically than he had hitherto conceived.; characterized by great strength or power of endurance; {a} strong, stout, lusty, vigorous, violent; rough and crude; "a robust tale" physically strong strong enough to withstand intellectual challenge; "the experiment yielded robust results"; "a robust faith; A physical characteristics resistance to change or become unavailable and is associated with the percentage of the population that can be enrolled into a biometric authentication system; physically strong strong enough to withstand intellectual challenge; "the experiment yielded robust results"; "a robust faith; strong enough to withstand intellectual challenge; "the experiment yielded robust results"; "a robust faith"; Able to function or to continue functioning well in unexpected situations; physically strong; {s} strong, healthy; An adjective describing a desirable feature of a feedback loop A loop is robust if it keeps working properly even if the real plant is different than that which was used to design the loop Examples of things which could be different are the time response of an actuator and the values of transfer matrix elements; Robust views or opinions are strongly held and forcefully expressed.
