&lt;p>We are pleased to share that our paper, &lt;strong>Design of a Multimodal Companion Robot for Elderly Care: Enhancing Affective Intelligence with Context-Aware Enactments&lt;/strong>, has been accepted to the &lt;strong>2026 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2026)&lt;/strong>.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This work explores how multimodal companion robots can support elderly care through affective intelligence and context-aware enactments, contributing to our broader research agenda on human-robot interaction, affect-aware systems, and human-centered AI.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>More details will be added as the conference program and final publication information become available.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
