Not to be offensive but, with my modest knowledge of robotics as a beginning student of Computer Engineering, that the AKs of the Black Trailer don't show any greater capability of interaction or coordination than the robots you can see competing in the World Robot Football Championship.

Let me give you a quick review: they start being off. Blake and Adam detonate some sort of alarm system when they break in into the wagon, judging by the red lasers on the floor, some sort of motion sensor. The AKs are turned alk at the same time and point their weapons to the place the lasers have been disturbed. A robotic voice ask for identification, said voice doesn't seem to be coming from any place in particular, my conclusion is that it comes from a speaker somewhere in the wagon and is part of the alarm system's programming to make sure not to shoot a crew member. Adam destroys one of the AKs, this is when they look at each other and change weapons. Given they were off and the automatically pointed their weapons to where the disturbance came from, this "reaction" is likely part of their programming to make sure there are no other intruders. Then they change weapons upon evaluation of the way the otheq robot had been destroyed.

Once all the AKs have been taken down, the Spider Droid is set into motion. Guven the timing and the fact it is a much more powerful weapon than AKs, it is possible all this robots are being controled by one central computer.

When compared to the robots we have right now in our world, the only remarkable think of the AKs of the Black Trailer is how humanoid they are in shape, the trabsfowrmable arms and their equilibrium in biped displacements.

Penny, on the other hand, even during Volume 1, acted at worst as someone socially awkward.
