In this paper, the water surface drone, which has a laser distance sensor and an infrared camera module connected to the Raspberry Pi, is discussed. The damage amount of lotus root caused by duck reached 20 million yen in 2006 in Tokushima prefecture. The present our drone system has two characteristics for the way of avoidance from obstacles and detection of ducks. The first is that the laser distance sensor is rotated by RC servo motor to find some stems of lotus. Another one is that the images taken by the infrared camera before and after the duck arrives are used to find the duck. Some experimental results for detect obstructs are verified and the improvement of our system are shown.
