„Robustheit“ consists of the adjective „robust“ (robust) and the ending „-heit“. This ending turns the adjective into a noun describing a quality; nouns ending in „-heit“ are always feminine.

With „Robustheit gegenüber“ (robustness against) and the dative, you can indicate which strain or disruption something can withstand.
Wir prüfen die Robustheit des Materials gegenüber starken Temperaturschwankungen.
We are testing the material's robustness against severe temperature fluctuations.
For objects, „hohe Robustheit“ (high robustness) and „mechanische Robustheit“ (mechanical robustness) are typical collocations. In product descriptions, robustness is often emphasized with the verb „sich auszeichnen durch“ (to be distinguished by).
Diese Werkzeugkiste zeichnet sich durch ihre hohe mechanische Robustheit aus.
This toolbox is distinguished by its high mechanical robustness.
When used with „Modell“ (model), „Verfahren“ (method), or „Ergebnissen“ (results), the technical or scientific meaning is usually intended. You will particularly encounter the pattern „die Robustheit der Ergebnisse prüfen“ (to test the robustness of the results) in scientific texts.
Das Forschungsteam prüft die Robustheit der Ergebnisse mit zusätzlichen Daten.
The research team is testing the robustness of the results using additional data.
