The trouble with this is that we've asked for droids like these before, and we just get a lot of reasons why it would be difficult to implement. Some of these reasons are (in my opinion as a programmer) justifiable as they are pretty complicated (droids that stalk planets surveying for you would require another thread/process runnning per droid out in the wild, would you all of a sudden see lots of droids walking around bleeping? what about server traffic etc?). Some of the reasons are pretty lame... balance anyone?
Regardless of the schemes, I just don't think we are going to see anything like this anytime soon.... although I hope I'm wrong

The droids wouldnt have to be made to run around, they wouldnt have to be there at all....I was thinking more of a disposable, one-time use droid much like a repair kit or a buff. You use the droid and have to wait a certain amount of time for it to "scan" the planet. The droid could be someone expensive to build but not too expensive so i prevents merchants / rangers from wanting to use them and not too cheap for them to be hated by DE's. All 3 professions should be able to welcome this feature.
