IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IEEE CAI)

The IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IEEE CAI) is an international conference and exhibition with an emphasis on the applications of AI and key AI verticals that impact industrial technology applications and innovations. You will learn about new research and breakthroughs in the industry, gain insight into new start-ups and leading AI companies, grow your network, and get inspired by the brightest minds working in the multi-faceted fields. Plan now to attend this highly anticipated spectacular event, taking place 8 – 10 May 2026 at the beautiful Granada Conference Centre, Granada, Spain.

SOSVITI CONSORTIUM IS ORGANIZING A Special Session S7-DRONES
We’re very happy to share our Special Session at the IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CAI 2026):

AI-Enabled Drones for Environmental Monitoring and Sustainable Land Management
🛰️ Conveners from!:
Jesús Rodrigo Comino (Universidad de Granada EGEMAP (Environmental geography and mapping) DaSCI, Andalusian Institute in Artificial Intelligence)
Chris Xouris (Gaia Robotics)
Manuel Seeger (Universität Trier)
Athanasios Kalogeras (Industrial Systems Institute / Research Centre ATHENA)

Let us present it you!
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are revolutionizing environmental monitoring by combining AI, computer vision, and remote sensing to deliver actionable insights in real time.
This session welcomes contributions exploring the fusion of drones and AI for sustainable and trustworthy environmental applications — from post-disaster assessments and soil erosion mapping to precision agriculture, wildfire monitoring, and biodiversity analysis.

–> Technical Topics Include:
Multimodal data fusion (RGB, multispectral, LiDAR, thermal)
Edge AI, model pruning, and low-power inference
Domain adaptation and generalization across sites
Explainable and uncertainty-aware AI (XAI)
Swarm navigation and energy-efficient planning
Federated learning and privacy-preserving models
Open datasets and reproducible evaluation
