Burglary, also know as breaking and entering or house breaking in different jurisdictions, is entering a residence or commercial building to commit a crime, such as larceny or sexual assault, and robbery is unlawfully taking someones property by the use of force or threat of force. Both crimes are generally a felony.
Definitions of crimes differs somewhat depending on the jurisdiction, but there is some commonalities.
1st degree robbery is using a deadly weapon during a robbery, causing bodily injury or, in some jurisdiction, committing a robbery within a financial institute such as a bank. 2nd degree is committing a robbery without a deadly weapon or causing injury.
1st degree burglary involves a residence or the use of a deadly weapon during the burglary and 2nd degree is a burglary of a commercial property and not using a deadly weapon.

Burglary is the breaking and entering of a residence, structure or car with intent to unlawfully remove the property of another therefrom. Robbery is the theft of the property of another from the person, by force or threat of force. Not sure about the degrees of robbery: probably a matter of statute of the particular state, depending on the value of the property.

Here in Canada a robbery is defined as a theft with violence (holding up a store with a gun, pushing a lady down and grabbing her purse etc...)
Burglary is also called Breaking and Entering. This is when you enter a place and commit an indictable offence (theft, mischief).
The "enter" part can also mean an unlocked door, no force is required.
We only have "degrees" in Canada for murder. We have levels for assault (and sexual assault) level 1 minor, 2 cause bodily harm, 3 aggravated/with a weapon.

"burglary" is stealing something when nobody is around -- you stole something, but not *from* somebody directly.
Robbery is when you take something from a person directly -- point a gun in their face, threaten them, take their car while they're in it, etc.
First and second degree robbery are differentiated depending on the state you're in -- in California, where I live, if you attempt to kill or inflict serious bodily injury on someone during the course of the robbery, it's first degree. Otherwise, it's second degree.

Burglery involves breaking and entering a place to commit a crime, including robbery. It is a crime against property generally, if a person is robbed, then it is burglery and robbery. Robbery is a crime against persons, not property.
