In common everyday conversation, the two terms are very often used interchangeably but, no, they are not the same. In "legalese": "Robbery" is a criome against a person, while "Burglary" is a crime against property. (e.g.: If someone sticks a gun in your face and takes your money, you suffered a 'robbery.' If someone breaks into your home when nobody is there and steals your TV, you have suffered a 'burglary.')
