[Grammar] difference between rob and steal

[Proffy]

what could be the possible difference between rob and steal? In what context, are each of them used?

 

[MikeNewYork]

Legally, "robbery" requires the presence of the victim. An element of the crime involves fear of bodily harm. Stealing/burglary does not. However, in common usage, several terms are often used interchangeably.
