Robust typically means it survives the unexpected well.
If you remember back, Windows 95 gave you the Blue Screen of Death all the time, for even the most minor problems. Windows XP almost never simply dies or hangs for no reason; it gets messed up, but you can almost always at least restart using the Start menu.
That's because Windows XP is more robust than Windows 95.

What Does Robust Mean

In computing terms, robustness is the resilience of the system under stress or when confronted with invalid input. It is the ability of the software system to maintain function even with the changes in internal structure or external environment. For example, an operating system is considered robust if it operates correctly when it is starved of memory or storage space, or when confronted with an application that has bugs or is behaving in an illegal fashion such as trying to access memory or storage belonging to other tasks in a multitasking system.
