The idea was to make a robot Hunter, to preserve the special qualities of Hunters while eliminating the casualties or at least reducing them, and eventually to mass produce them until the AKs are practically Hunters of their own.

But what makes Hunters special is Aura, so the robot Hunter must be able to use it. Penny was capable of that, and has a personality and identity, either thanks to the Aura, or she got the Aura because of that personality and identity (and sapience).

Her creator made her his/her daughter while at it, for one reason or another, but it doesn't mean Ironwood wouldn't be okay with it. As long as she still achieves her purpose, there's no problem. (She's mostly a prototype anyway).

Why did he think a aura transfer machine made sense? Honestly? Not entirely sure, but an Aura Transfer Machine has uses. While we don't know what could happen, I assume that transfering someone to an empty body would be the same as a brain transplant.

And eventually, some people would (because I know a lot of people would do it) transfer themselves to a "superior, upgradeable, easily-repaired" empty person-like robot, like Penny (but again, empty), for multiple reasons.

What did he have to do to even test that machine? People must've died. Likely. Though I'm pretty sure it wasn't even tested when it came to transfering Aura X to a person who already has Aura Y in place.
