Flexion is a developer of hardware-agnostic autonomy software for humanoid robots.
Flexion is an embodied AI company developing autonomy software for humanoid robots. Rather than building its own humanoid hardware, the company focuses on creating a hardware-agnostic intelligence platform that enables robots from different manufacturers to perceive, reason, and perform useful tasks in real-world environments. Its approach positions Flexion as an AI infrastructure provider for the broader humanoid robotics ecosystem.
On November 20, 2025, Flexion announced a $50 million Series A backed by DST Global Partners, NVentures, redalpine, Prosus Ventures, and Moonfire after a seed round just months earlier. The company said the capital would expand the Zurich R&D team, scale compute and robot fleets, establish a U.S. presence, and accelerate commercialization of its autonomy stack.
Flexions public materials and investor messaging describe the company as being built by researchers and engineers from ETH Zurich and NVIDIA, with a focus on reinforcement learning, generative AI, and sim-to-real transfer. From the start, the company framed itself around the intelligence layer for humanoids rather than around manufacturing its own robot body.

Flexion says its platform spans a command layer for language-based task decomposition, a motion layer for vision-language-action behavior, and a control layer for low-latency whole-body control. The company also says it is already working with major OEM partners, reinforcing that its commercial model is to power many humanoids rather than ship one branded machine.
