It would certainly be possible to send unmanned probes to Pluto, but it's generally not regarded as being worth the cost involved.
Pluto is a dwarf planet that almost certainly has nothing of interest to offer planetary researchers- it's much too far from the Sun to support life of any kind, probably has no mineral or chemical assets that could be of use to us on Earth, but it would still cost billions of US dollars for NASA to send a probe there. It would take about 20 years to reach the planet, and it's findings when it got there would probably find nothing significantly of interest. What we can usefully know about Pluto, can mostly be detected from Earth-based optical and radio telescopes.
