Andy Powell, a fellow Universal Mind team member, has been experimenting with Merapi, the bridge which allows you to connect AIR with Java (we have covered Merapi before here on InsideRIA). In his experiments, Andy has managed to connect AIR with a GPS unit as well as an RFID receiver. These experiments begin to give us a view of what is possible with AIR and Merapi.

Videos of the bot and some more info on this project in the full entry.
