Article Summary

Reinforcement learning can train bimanual dexterous hands to play piano in physics simulation with high note accuracy, but for high-DoF dexterous hands, relying solely on task rewards or IK inversion often leads to unnatural postures and joint overextension. We propose \textit{Adversarial Posture Regularization (APR)}. It avoids expensive, song-aligned expert demonstration data and instead uses a small amount of casual human playing data. By matching the distribution of the posture of the policy with the human prior through an adversarial objective, APR encourages more human-like hand shapes. Meanwhile, we collect and release unstructured hand motion data of piano playing using a consumer-grade Meta Quest 3, and retarget the key motion information to the Shadow Hand. Finally, we achieve significantly better performance than prior methods on all three human-likeness metrics (cPSI, BSE, and FAC) as well as in visual quality.
