Flexion presents a Niantic Spatial and NVIDIA sim-to-real pipeline for humanoids

Jul 20, 2026 · Research Publication · Flexion · Foundation Models

Flexion, Niantic Spatial and NVIDIA demonstrated an RGB navigation workflow that reconstructs a deployment site, trains a policy in simulation and transfers it to a physical humanoid.

The work joins site-specific digital twins, accelerated simulation and robot policy deployment in one tested sim-to-real workflow.

  • Niantic Spatial reconstructed the office as a metric digital twin from camera capture.
  • NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab provided the simulation and training environment.
  • The RGB navigation policy transferred zero-shot to a physical humanoid in the real office.

Flexion Robotics develops an autonomy stack for humanoid robots, spanning language-based mission control, vision-language-action motion skills, reinforcement-learning policies, whole-body control and deployment software across robot hardware.
