 Robyn performed the song on 16 April 2010 on the Norwegian @-@ Swedish talk show Skavlan . A writer from music website Stereogum wrote that Robyn did the song very well live , and commented ; " With just a keyboardist doubling as robot hypeman and two drummers , the performance is extremely faithful to the recorded version . It fact , it doesn ’ t really pop until the end and we get two seconds of Robyn doing the robot . " Robyn also performed the song on the All Hearts joint tour with American singer Kelis during the summer of 2010 . Robyn opened the show with " Fembot " , which was preceded by a computerized voice counting down . Joanna Buffum of MTV Iggy wrote that the song " set the tone for the futuristic electro light show to follow " . The song was also included on the set list for the Body Talk Tour . Similar to the All Hearts Tour , the show commenced with robotic voices over the speakers and backed by a heavy beat , before Robyn began singing " Fembot " as multicolored strobes lit the stage . However , for the second North American leg and onwards , " Time Machine " took over as the opening number .
