Behavior tree

A behavior tree is a structured visual modeling technique used in systems engineering and software engineering to represent system behavior. It utilizes a hierarchical tree diagram composed of nodes and connectors to illustrate control flow and system actions. By replacing ambiguous natural language descriptions with standardized visual elements—such as…
