RoboPianist: Dexterous Piano Playing with Deep Reinforcement Learning
RoboPianist is a new benchmarking suite for high-dimensional control, targeted at testing high spatial and temporal precision, coordination, and planning, all with an underactuated system frequently making-and-breaking contacts. The proposed challenge is mastering the piano through bi-manual dexterity, using a pair of simulated anthropomorphic robot hands.
This codebase contains software and tasks for the benchmark, and is powered by MuJoCo.
Latest Updates
- [24/12/2023] Updated install script so that it checks out the correct Menagerie commit. Please re-run
bash scripts/install_deps.sh to update your installation.
- [17/08/2023] Added a pixel wrapper for augmenting the observation space with RGB images.
- [11/08/2023] Code to train the model-free RL policies is now public, see robopianist-rl.
Getting Started
We’ve created an introductory Colab notebook that demonstrates how to use RoboPianist. It includes code for loading and customizing a piano playing task, and a demonstration of a pretrained policy playing a short snippet of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Click the button below to get started!
Installation
RoboPianist is supported on both Linux and macOS and can be installed with Python >= 3.8. We recommend using Miniconda to manage your Python environment.
Install from source
The recommended way to install this package is from source. Start by cloning the repository:
git clone https://github.com/google-research/robopianist.git && cd robopianist
Next, install the prerequisite dependencies:
git submodule init && git submodule update
bash scripts/install_deps.sh
Finally, create a new conda environment and install RoboPianist in editable mode:
conda create -n pianist python=3.10
conda activate pianist
pip install -e ".[dev]"
To test your installation, run make test and verify that all tests pass.
Install from PyPI
First, install the prerequisite dependencies:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google-research/robopianist/main/scripts/install_deps.sh) --no-soundfonts
Next, create a new conda environment and install RoboPianist:
conda create -n pianist python=3.10
conda activate pianist
pip install --upgrade robopianist
Optional: Download additional soundfonts
We recommend installing additional soundfonts to improve the quality of the synthesized audio. You can easily do this using the RoboPianist CLI:
robopianist soundfont --download
For more soundfont-related commands, see docs/soundfonts.md.
MIDI Dataset
The PIG dataset cannot be redistributed on GitHub due to licensing restrictions. See docs/dataset for instructions on where to download it and how to preprocess it.
CLI
RoboPianist comes with a command line interface (CLI) that can be used to download additional soundfonts, play MIDI files, preprocess the PIG dataset, and more. For more information, see docs/cli.md.
