Depending on the canon (because iirc I don't recall if it's in the new Disney canon) droids can be detected by the force, and also by some are considered sentient beings. BattleDroids weren't quite as independently sentient though, from what I recall.
Well, let's get a few consultants and see if the plan is viable. Then we can get a few contactors and our board will need to approve them. So, short answer is, maybe if it's within budget. Expect movement on this project in 18 to 36 months.
