There are 2 main senses of the "robust" word:

1. strong, tough, hard,
   healthy, sound, wholesome,
   strong, powerful.

2. sound (mind), lucid (mind), clear.

And rare (see above):

3. rough, crude, gross, harsh, gruff,
   noisy, bustling, uproarious.

So, EU --> 1,2
    VB --> 3

And both are robust!
