I have tried below mention robot code but it doesn't works :

${list1}= create list  a   b   c
${list2}= create list  d   e   f

Robot uses two or more spaces to separate each component of a statement. You only have a single space between ${list1}= and create list. Robot, therefore, thinks that the first cell is ${list1}= create list. It expects to find either a variable or a keyword name in the first cell and it can't find a keyword named ${list1}= create list so it throws the error that you are reporting.

The solution is simple: make sure there are two or more spaces between the variable and the keyword:

${list1}=  create list  a  b  c
