Flow-Matched Motion Priors: Online Optimal-Transport Rewards for Imitation Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 14, 2026 · UTC

Learning a motion prior requires a reward that guides a policy from its current behavior toward demonstrated motion. Adversarial Motion Priors (AMP) provide such a reward with a discriminator. However, adversarial objectives can become uninformative when policy and expert supports are far apart. A naive use of optimal transport (OT) averages matched expert successors into a barycentric target. Averaging across gait phases can weaken the target's joint motion. We introduce Flow-Matched Motion Priors (FMP), an online scalar reward learned from paths connecting current rollout histories to an exp
