First time seeing that library but it looks useful, thanks for finding it
As I’ve not seen it before, I’m not an expert, however from a quick look at the library README and the code I thing I understand what is happening.
With threading you should wait for the thread to end before exiting the process that created that thread, in your case you are starting 2 threads ( async run) , logging some text to the log and exiting so the main process ( Example Test) is finishing before the threads ( Task1 and Task2) which would explain those errors.
Here’s a suggestion for a slightly modified test that should hopefully work better as it should wait for the threads to finish.

Hi Dave By using the above code which you have provided the execution is not terminating and i have used log to console instead of log but not able to see the log statement. and i have to terminate the process manually to stop the execution.
Ok I setup a VM with a minimal Debian 11 and installed pip, then ran robotframework-async copied my example and ran it to reproduce your issue.
Here’s what i got:
dave@Harsha:~/tmp$ robot --version
Robot Framework 6.0.2 (Python 3.9.2 on linux)
dave@Harsha:~/tmp$
dave@Harsha:~/tmp$ robot Harsha-AsyncLibrary.robot
