Given the context in which this question appears, I'd say "roboto," or, as you spelled it in your subject line, "robato," means "spam" or, perhaps, "troll treat."
EDIT: it just dawned on me that you might mean the word "rubato." If so, it's from the Italian "rubare," meaning to steal. In performance it's when you "rob" time from one beat to lavish it on another, yet keeping the pulse within the bar steady. It's a technique more often used in Romantic literature, such as Chopin.
If you don't mean "rubato," then the earlier comment above applies.
