Regardless of what was used, if anything, to commit a robbery (robbing or mugging someone), it IS a violent charge. The robber is using violence in some way to force a victim to relinquish something. There are varying degrees of severity of the offense, but ALL robberies are VIOLENT.
The least severe is known in most states as strong arm robbery, or robbery by use of bare hands to commit the offense. Examples of this offense include mugging (that is, punching or striking the victim to commit the robbery) and purse-snatching.
Armed robbery is robbery with the use or implied use of a weapon (gun, knife, stick, etc.), the latter meaning making the victim believe the perp is carrying such weapon. If a firearm is dispalyed (brandished), fired away from or at a person, the offense is more serious and carries more penalty (prison time).
By the way there's no such offense as "simple" armed robbery.

Is simple robbery a misdemeanor or felony?
"Any armed robbery is a felony." by a previous contributor.....Added note:Strong arm robbery is a violent threat or use of physical violence to purport a robbery without use of a weapon or object.For that reason, it may or may not be considered a felony charge dependent on circumstantial or eye witness testimony. or evidence. The "threat" of a strong arm robbery in most cases is not considered a felony. It is lesser and considered intimidation in some points, harassment in others, or if a verbal threat is made of bodily harm with a weapon, and said weapon is within the immediate access, it is considered terroristic threat in some states.So that advice is partially or mostly incorrect , as "strong arm robbery" is not ARMED robbery.
Which is the act of using a deadly weapon to help you steal?
Stealing with violence (gun, knife, fists, other wreapons, or even the threat of violence) is robbery. It doesn't matter if the weapon is deadly or not, it is robbery. It would be armed robbery if you had a firearm.ANOTHER VIEW: It is defined as ARMED ROBBERY. It makes NO difference what the weapon is (gun, knife, stick, table leg, golf club, etc) if you are "armed" with it and use it as a weapon to put the victim in fear of their life or grave bodily injury you have committed ARMED robbery. The answer above is incorrect as to the use of fists or feet as the instrument of the robbery, THAT particular charge would be called "Robbery By Force And Violence."
