Learning to Play Piano in the Real World

ArXi:2503.15481v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Towards the grand challenge of achieving human-level manipulation in robots, playing piano is a compelling testbed that requires strategic, precise, and flowing movements. Over the years, several works nstrated hand-designed controllers on real world piano playing, while other works evaluated robot learning approaches on simulated piano playing. In this work, we develop the first piano playing robotic system that makes use of learning approaches while also being deployed on a real world dexterous robot.
