  Robustness may also refer to:
  
  ## Science
  
  ### Biology

  * Robustness (morphology), body types based on strength and a heavy build
  
  ### Other sciences
  
  * Structural robustness, the strength of a structure to withstand calamities like earthquakes, tornados, etc.
  * Robustness (computer science), the ability of a computer system to cope with errors during execution
  * Robust statistics, a statistical technique that performs well even if its assumptions are somewhat violated by the true model from which the data were generated
  * Robust optimization, a field of mathematical optimization theory
     * Robust fuzzy programming, a mathematical optimization approach to deal with optimization problems under uncertainty
  * Robustness (economics), the ability of a financial trading system to remain effective under different markets
  
  ## Other uses
  
  * Robust decision making, an iterative decision analytics framework that aims to help identify potential robust strategies
