VGFM: Expressive Robot Policies via Dense Value Guidance in Flow Matching

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.14261v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent robot learning paradigms increasingly rely on large offline datasets of robotic interactions to train control policies. Expressive generative models enable rich and multimodal action representations, expanding the capability of this paradigm for complex robotic control. However, policy improvement with multi-step generative actors remains challenging. In offline reinforcement learning (RL), incorporating value-based objectives along generative trajectories often introduces substantial training complexity, including backpropagation through time (BPTT), auxiliary architectures, or distillation losses. We propose Value-Guided Flow Matching (VGFM), a scalable offline RL framework that enables dense value-guided shaping within a flow-base
