$ robot foo
[ ERROR ] Unexpected error: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/peke/Devel/robotframework/foo'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   ...
   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/robot/parsing/populators.py", line 181, in _list_dir
    names = os.listdir(dir_path)

We cannot really do anything to the actual problem but we can report it better and avoid showing the traceback.
