Optimal algorithm: Linear Programming

This week, i have learn about Linear Programming and using simplex algorithm
Linear programming (LP, or linear optimization) is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships. Linear programming is a specific case of mathematical programming (mathematical optimization).
[wikipedia]

Then I could give you some example, this is the popular problem called Diet Problem. The decision about how much of each food to buy (or eat) is to made entirely on dietary and economic considerations. And they will provide us the table of cost or nutrition stuff in order to support the question. Somehow if you ask me, i'll select my favorite first and eat them all. (LOL)

Last Thursday, I had chance to had a lunch with our lecturer and we were talking about some funny stuff in term of Duality. We discuss about how we should eat, should we eat the favorite food first or keep it for the last. My friend said, 'I'll save the best for the last'. I think this problem object to the maximum value, you eat them all but keep the best for the last. Then mine was different, I'll eat my favorite food first in order not to full at the last. So it might be object to minimum value. Subject to the quantity and quality of food. If save the best for the last is Primal, then eat the best first should be Dual for sure!

PS. don't believe my word this time, we just made fun because our optimization method teacher was with us that time. (LOL)

FIBO Open house 2012

Hi!
Since I have no progress about my lab last week so i need more inspiration and i have to work harder!

Last Friday, i have chance to go to 'FIBO open house' at KMUTT (yeah, it's my workplace, i just want to make it has more power) in order to find my inspiration about my work at the lab. [plus: I found out about this exhibition from the advertise from ATM!] At that exhibition, they have a lot of innovations in field of robotic which invent and develop from FIBO. [plus: FIBO is institute of FIeld roBOtics]

This is the winner of best technique from SCG Thailand robot.

Hello, my name is Nang Namo, nice to meet you.

Hi! I'm Nong Ohm. (even he is Namo's younger brother but i think Namo is more clever than him.)

In the exhibition

Goal keeper, so smart (but not much accurate lol)

There are a lot more inventory that was really cool but I forgot to take the photos. (LOL)

By the way, i have some video for the robots performance, they were really cool!
