Sexed Robots (2005)
Sexed Female
The sexed robots are autonomous wheeled platforms fitted with nylon genital organs, respectively male and female. They are programmed to explore their environment, occasionally entering a "in heat" mode, where they will try and locate a partner in the same state. If a partner is located, the robots will attempt to mate.

"The robots emit various sounds during the mating cycle."
~If I had a choice I'ld prefer my sexed robot to be covered in crome.
No mention or film of what happens when one sexed robot "in heat" locates another that's not. Maybe it sulks?
Phermones and phermone sensors or chemicals (alcohol, poppers) and chemical sensors are not yet involved in the robots' mating.
