Using keyword Get Current Date you could get weekday index and calculate number of days before Saturday and then using number of days generate date from the future. Final keyword would look like this:

Get Next Saturday
    ${day_index}    Get Current Date    result_format=%w
    ${till_saturday}    Evaluate    6 - ${day_index}
    ${saturday}    Get Current Date    increment=${till_saturday} days    result_format=%d/%m/%Y
    Return From Keyword    ${saturday}
