Add please what kind of error Robotframework is returning. – Bobur Meliev
@BoburMeliev Actually I'm not getting any error, only thing is page partially loaded. So I couldn't move to next page as expected element is not visible. I tried with sleep up to 15 mins, Reload Page, but nothing worked. Note: Page has multiple API calls, so it fetch and set in UI, not sure whether those calls are triggered in headless chrome. Because I don't see loading icon in partially loaded page. – Manish Kumar
If the page is not fully loading only in CI, open the page locally in your own machine, copy the requests (for example, at least firefox has copy as curl) and then try to run those curl commands in the CI machine separately and see if you get responses.. It could very well be that CI boxes do not have same network access, for example firewall blocks outgoing requests to particular hosts and those cause error which can break the rendering and/or rest of the asset fetching. – rasjani
PS. robotframework-selenium2library is not what you should be using - it acts as meta package that will fetch real robotframework-seleniumlibrary .. – rasjani

I believe it's because you are using old version of Selenium library, current the latest version if 5.1.3. Try to install latest version

pip install --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibrary

or

pip install --upgrade robotframework-selenium2library

Then update your browser and browser driver.
