Orbot is the described as the "stiffbot" of him and Cubot, and has a polished demeanor which goes along with his smooth surface. Though Orbot is the smarter (though not by very much), more serious and firmer of the duo, he is just as prone to bumbling around as Cubot is. While not perfect of character, he is loyal by default, though he will only obey orders after being threatened as dictated by his programming. Orbot speaks calmly, formally, and without a filter. He is honest to a fault and offers unsolicited, withering assessments of his master (albeit in an indirect manner).

More level-headed and sensible than his creator, Orbot prefers thought-out, resource-conserving and discrete tactics (which have proven quite efficient) in contrast to Eggman's brutish and destruction-orientated plans. He is also known to have a sense of sassiness and sarcasm (which stems from his "wit-chip"). He usually shows this side of him when dealing with Eggman's attitude and reviewing Eggman's plans. Supposedly, he is also a natural raconteur.

At his core, Orbot is a mindless servant. While capable of making his own choices and forming his own personal opinions, Orbot is weak-willed and unable to be alone as he is extremely dependent on others, and having total freedom overwhelms him with anxiety over the concept of choosing for himself. Fearing as well that he will get scrapped without a job to fulfill, he will always come groveling back to his employer and gladly demean himself as much as he can in order to resume his duties whenever he is left without someone to serve, showcasing a complete lack of dignity on his behalf. Supposedly, Orbot also has "Bot-holm syndrome" which makes him ultimately agree with anything Eggman says.
