I think it'd be a good idea to add slots to the character equipment area in the bottom right that can hold a stack of each construction and logistics bots to be used by our personal roboports. That way, you don't have them taking up an inventory slot, you don't have to worry about accidentally putting them into a roboport, etc etc. It'd just be handy. If this doesn't align with the devs' vision for the game, can someone make a mod to accomplish the same?

I agree on adding personal roboport inventory upon equipping personal roboport.
For example it could be located the same as currently we have logistic slots in E interface. With slots added equal to amount of personal roboports you have equipped. However having slot number dynamic could raise issue about what to do with bots if your inventory is full and you unequip roboport so you might just dedicate several slots for this purpose. Or bind the number of slots to some existing research like follower robot count (obvious).

This could be a real first step in the direction of having non-disposable combat robots!
