Istanbul Topkapı University and its partner international institutions are pleased to invite you to the 1st International Conference on Sensor Technology and Artificial Intelligence Systems (ISTAI26).

ISTAI26 aims to bring together scholars, researchers, engineers, educators, industry professionals, and graduate students working at the intersection of sensor technologies and artificial intelligence. The conference provides a strong international platform to present and discuss recent advances in intelligent sensing, data-driven decision-making, and real-world AI applications. By bridging theoretical developments with practical implementations, ISTAI26 supports the advancement of innovative methods and technologies that shape the future of smart environments and autonomous systems.

The conference emphasizes the entire intelligent sensing pipeline, including sensor design and instrumentation, data acquisition, signal and image processing, sensor fusion, and advanced learning algorithms. Special attention is given to edge and embedded AI systems, cyber-physical systems, and the deployment of AI-driven solutions in real operational environments.

ISTAI26 welcomes contributions across a wide range of topics, including but not limited to IoT and wireless sensor networks, machine learning and deep learning for sensing applications, robotics, smart manufacturing, smart cities, healthcare sensing, environmental monitoring, energy systems, and Industry 4.0/5.0. The conference also promotes key principles such as reproducibility, benchmarking, and trustworthy AI, including reliability, safety, and transparency.

Participants will have the opportunity to present innovative methodologies, experimental results, prototype developments, and real-world validated systems. Both theoretical contributions and applied research are highly encouraged, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, industry, and research institutions.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their work for oral, poster, online, or video presentations. ISTAI26 aims to enhance collaboration, networking, and knowledge exchange among participants from diverse disciplines working on intelligent sensing and AI-enabled systems.

Extended and selected high-quality papers will be considered for publication in internationally recognized journals or edited volumes, in accordance with the conference publication policy.

We look forward to welcoming you to ISTAI26 and believe that your valuable contributions will help shape the future of intelligent sensing and artificial intelligence technologies.
