The workshop on Human-centred Emotion-Awareness and Sensing in Pervasive Computing (EmotionSense) aims to advance research at the intersection of affective computing, pervasive sensing, and human-centered AI. EmotionSense workshop focuses on two complementary objectives, addressing the realm of pervasive computing. First, to explore how unobtrusive sensing of cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and contextual human data—with particular emphasis on affective states—can drive the development of innovative computing experiences. Second, to investigate novel algorithms and AI techniques for the automatic recognition of emotions and, more general, health and well-being conditions, based on mobile and wearable sensors. 

The synergy between human-centered computational sensing and emotion recognition is critical, as the emotional state both influences and is influenced by sensing technologies. This bidirectional relationship has significant implications for the design and application of pervasive computing systems in real-world, human-centered environments. 

We invite to this workshop unique contributions addressing these challenges. EmotionSense 2026 aims to facilitate collaboration among research groups working on emotion recognition for pervasive computing and human-centered computational sensing.
