Robson failed to secure a morale-boosting victory as she was defeated 6-2 6-2 by Angelique Kerber.
The 22-year-old former British number one, ranked 308 in the world after missing much of 2014 and 2015 with a wrist problem, was outclassed by the Australian Open champion.
Robson, the 2008 Wimbledon junior champion, beat Kerber at the same stage at Wimbledon in 2011, but this time could not manage a single break point against the German.
More Brits flounder
British number five James Ward also failed to make the second round, unable to cause a major upset against defending champion Novak Djokovic.
The 29-year-old lost in straight sets against the world number one on Centre Court.
Wildcard Alex Ward could not mark his Wimbledon debut with a notable shock either, losing in just an hour and a half to 11th seed David Goffin.
The 26-year-old, ranked 245th in the world, was beaten 6-2 6-3 6-2 by the Belgian on court three.
