The document lists several conferences and events related to engineering, computation, and robotics including CEC 2013, IJCNN 2013, and the Pioneers Festival. CEC 2013 focused on engineering design using evolutionary computation and data analytics while IJCNN 2013 covered computing applications for robots and biomolecules. The Pioneers Festival featured talks from pioneers in robotics like Rodney Brooks. The document also mentions ongoing work at IDSIA on learned object manipulation.
