Replacing a light bulb with a drone is apparently a lot harder than it looks. For some reason, I was just expecting it to fly right up there and screw the bulb in. Nope.

There's a lot of practical reasons to make this work, so long as it can be automated.

He was giving the drone continual upwards thrust to put more friction on the lightbulb grabbers. that's why the bulb fell over once it was unscrewed.I believe air currents change around the open ceiling tiles.
(watch the drone shift left and accelerate up, I would guess a properly mounted light could be easier, but its a lot like docking a spacecraft)
Had it actually been a "drone" I think things would have been a lot smoother. It needs to be programmed (take out human control (drone)) with a camera to be able to identify the bulb and location. It would flawlessly do this I would imagine.
