While reading some research papers, I come to know that author has explicitly mentioned robust optimum and non-robust optimum terms. Is there any difference? If yes, can you please explain with an example.

In my experience, an optimum is robust if it is reasonably distant from constraint boundaries. Yes, optimization tends to drive the design towards a peak, but if there are constraints in the way it will instead tend to drive the design towards 'corners' where different constraints cross. If you are using optimization to design a physical part of a larger assembly, being up against the constraints is bad: The actual manufacturing process can introduce deviations from the calculated optimum, and if those deviations cross a constraint boundary the part may be unusable. If the optimum is right up against two or more constraints, a lot of parts could have to be thrown away because of that. Robust optimization, on the other hand, finds a design which, while not theoretically optimum, is close to optimum while being a certain minimum distance from all constraints. Manufacturing a part according to a robust optimum automatically build in a lot of tolerance, so the manufacturing defect rate can be greatly reduced. If you have heard the phrase 'Six Sigma', then that's what this is about - reducing defect rates to below one-in-a-million, i.e six 'sigmas' (standard deviations), by careful up-front design.
Of course, the author of that paper might mean something else entirely....
