Behavior tree

In French:
Arbre de comportement
Abbreviation:
BT

Definition

A structure that organises a robot’s tasks as a tree: each branch sequences, conditions or replaces actions according to their success or failure. It makes a complex behaviour more readable and more modular than a state machine loaded with dozens of states and transitions. Nav2, the ROS 2 navigation stack, uses it to describe its movement logic.
