The bot AI is still under development and the bots are known to be...impaired. This is from the "In Progress" section, which everyone should check often:

"We are completely rewriting the game back-end. The "server" is unchanged, but the sector daemons that control in-sector behaviour and game AI are being redesigned and engineered to give the game a more powerful, flexible base. "

For 3.3.0 we can expect to see a change in bot behavior, but nobody is promising a drastic improvement just yet. The update will allow for better AI tweaking in the future however.

In the meantime, if you find your defense bots asleep on the station, you can ram them into the wheel and cause them to issue.
That will make them spawn elsewhere and hopefully return to duty.

If you see a bot stuck, ram it as hard as you can so it issues, then it should respawn and go back to work.
