It can be both a Federal and a State crime- depends on what is robbed, and where.

The robbery (illegal taking of property through use of force or fear of force) of a grocery store is likely a state crime. A robbery of a bank is a Federal crime- since there is a law that says so. Robbery of a drugstore- state. Of a Post Office- Federal (Federal agency)
