Why should an AI/robot learn piano? Because perceptual robotics could help people in ways that are far more personal and intuitive than current task-driven robots. Imagine more intuitive prosthetics or a robot helping someone with Parkinson’s. Check out this new @USC research from the @ValeroLab to see advances in AI and robot learning @KECKSchool_USC @USCBiomedEng https://t.co/kR0xfCA8V8
