With the scores at 8-8 heading into the afternoon session, the 2010 champion regained the lead with a break of 59 before he took the 18th frame as Hawkins missed a costly red.
Robertson took the 19th with a half century before Hawkins pulled back one with his only century of the afternoon.
In the end, though, it proved to be a relatively comfortable conclusion to the contest for Robertson.
The Australian responded with a 79 clearance after a lengthy 21st frame before sealing his place in his eighth World Championships quarter-finals where he will face Mark Selby.
