Generally, the quality of a device- or by extension, a system; network or automaton able to resist even important disturbances , or the loss of some elements .
Robustness is obtained mainly in two ways:
1-by the presence of a number of duplicate elements which can replace the disabled ones
2-by the high variety of the possible couplings between two, or more elements
A frequent condition for robustness is the existence of redundancy in the system
