Sturdy is used for objects.
Robust can be used for objects too, but in common speech, it's only used to describe "data with a low margin of error".
"The table is very sturdy"
"The experimental data is very robust"
"I choose furniture based on sturdiness."
"Robustness is important if you want you study to support your hypothesis."
