• Flexion releases Reflect v1.0 for long-horizon humanoid autonomy

  2026-06-29 - Research Publication - Reflect v1.0 uses a custom VLM mission controller to reason over instructions, scene state and mission progress. The stack combines semantic mapping, VLA/RL motion skills, navigation, manipulation, whole-body control and runtime safety checks. Flexion demonstrated autonomous multi-floor parcel retrieval, elevator/stair navigation, box opening and snack placement without a human operator.
