ED-E tends to get stuck in doorways and stuff, thanks to his floatiness. However, from time to time (and usually in vaults), both Boone or ED-E will go missing. Even though I have them on passive, sometimes we'll get to a spot where an enemy is on the other side of the wall. Perhaps they sense this as a close threat, so they'll both go running around the maze of halls and doors till they can get to the enemy (doesn't always work).
Now, usually, my solution is to simply move to another part of the vault, ie another floor. That seems to bring them back sometimes. Otherwise, before I leave a building, if I'm missing my companions, I'll just wait in a safe spot (not just hit the wait function, but wait RL). Only do this if you're patient and have something else to do. Sometimes, in a few RL minutes, they'll catch up with you.
I know the PC has tricks to bring back companions, and I assume that would work with missing companions. But I don't know if there's anything like that for consoles.
