You should consider redesigning your test. If you absolutely have to you can use keyword Run Keyword And Ignore Error capture the return value and use it as a condition for your next test step with keyword Run Keyword If.

*** Test Cases ***   
Example                
    ${output}=    Run Keyword And Ignore Error    Possible Failure
    Log    ${output}[0]
    Run Keyword If    '${output}[0]'=='FAIL'    Keyword With Next Step

If you use robot framework 5.0 you can use the newly added try/catch functionality example taken from the resource.

*** Test Cases ***
First example
    TRY
        Some Keyword
    EXCEPT    Error message
        Error Handler Keyword
    END
    Keyword Outside
