The Droning Company President Don DeVille found this interesting little piece from Circuit Press: 

"The safe operation of valves is crucial across industrial and civil infrastructure applications like water distribution systems, the regulation of pressurized gasses, and the control of flammable or toxic chemicals. Besides maintenance tasks, during disaster situations, critical tasks must be carried on in order to reduce the level of danger.

"Ricardo Rosales Martinez, Hannibal Paul, and Kazuhiro Shimonomura from Ritsumeikan University in Japan are equipping drones with an add-on thrust vectoring device in order to open valves in high or inaccessible locations, where unmanned ground robots are unable to go."
