The field of embodied AI and social robotics is moving towards developing more responsible, adaptive, and human-centered systems. Researchers are focusing on creating AI-driven robots that are emotionally responsive, context-aware, and aligned with the needs of diverse users. This includes integrating co-design, ethical frameworks, and multimodal sensing to support sustainable and ethical futures. Another key area of research is the development of assistive robots that can support individuals with disabilities, frailty, and other needs. Studies are examining the acceptability and effectiveness of AI assistants for privacy, as well as the design of equitable robotics for marginalized communities. Noteworthy papers include: Embodied AI in Social Spaces, which introduces a multidisciplinary project for developing responsible and adaptive multi-human multi-robot systems. Speculative Design of Equitable Robotics, which explores the concept of queer robotics and its potential to promote inclusivity and diversity. Who Owns The Robot, which raises important ethical and socio-technical questions about the deployment of wellbeing robots in real-world environments.
