Según tengo entendido, "rob" implica violencia, mientras que "steal" no la implica.

steal is more formal than rob

You steal a thing, and rob a person.
For example:
"They stole my dress!"
Dress = Thing
"My uncle got robbed yesterday."
Uncle = Person

No se puede "rob" una cosa, y no se puede "steal" una persona.

Rather than "rob a person" it's more that "rob" is "steal [something] from [somewhere]" - you can rob a bank, after all.

So:
Rob a bank = take the money from the bank
Steal a bank = take the whole building
