GAP: Generalized Adaptation Prior for Dexterous Piano Playing
GAP: Generalized Adaptation Prior for Dexterous Piano Playing
This research introduces GAP, a sample-efficient adaptation framework designed to bridge the simulation-to-real gap in dexterous manipulation tasks. By training a gradient guidance network during simulation pretraining to learn how to adjust actions rather than just how to act, the method transfers an 'adaptation prior' to physical hardware. Evaluated on a dexterous hand performing piano playing, GAP achieves approximately 2.4 times the F1 score improvement of existing fast-adaptation baselines in simulation and improves F1 scores by 3.6%–23% across three musical pieces of varying difficulty on hardware after roughly 7 minutes of adaptation per piece.
The paper proposes a simulation-based adaptation framework that transfers learned adjustment strategies to physical hardware, achieving reported F1 score improvements of 3.6%–23% on a dexterous hand after approximately 7 minutes of real-world interaction per piece.

ts. In simulation, GAP yields approximately 2.4 times the F1 scores improvement of the existing fast-adaptation baseline for dexterous piano playing under the same interaction budget. The learned prior also generalizes to musical pieces held out from pretraining.
