I'm sticking with the idea that Penny's personality is a mistake on her creator's part. Where the design was to be killing machines (I think), there was an unexpected result... sentience. So I'd say that she's likely far from perfect (in her creator's eye), and that if there's more, they're, well, robotic in nature.

Kind of like I, Robot. Kind of. I actually think the goal was to make a perfectly human robot, and they fell just short. She may eventually be faced with a perfectly normal version of herself, who thinks she's weird just as much as everyone thinks she is.
