In 1877 he became an associate professor at Berlin, attaining a full professorship in 1880. In 1890 he was appointed chair of classical archaeology and philology at the University of Halle. At Halle he served as director of its archaeological museum, of which, he made important improvements via new acquisitions. In the 1920s the museum was renamed the "Robertinum" in honor of his accomplishments.[2][3]

As a classical scholar, he preferred a close association between the disciplines of archaeology and philology, while downplaying the art historical approach.[1] For many years, he was editor of the journal Hermes, and was the author of a highly regarded revision of Ludwig Preller's Griechische Mythologie.[4] He also made contributions to the corpus of ancient sarcophagus reliefs, Die antiken Sarkophag-Reliefs (volumes 2 & 3).[5] The following are a few of his other significant works:
Bild und Lied : Archäologische Beiträge zur Geschichte der griechischen Heldensage, 1881.
Studien zur Ilias, 1901.
Archaeologische Hermeneutik : Anleitung zur Deutung klassischer Bildwerke, 1919.[6]
