Simulation Results on Selector Adaptation in Behavior Trees

Understand

Behavior trees (BTs) emerged from video game development as a graphical language for modeling intelligent agent behavior.

• However as initially implemented, behavior trees are static plans.
• This paper adds to recent literature exploring the ability of BTs to adapt to their success or failure in achieving tasks.
• The "Selector" node of a BT tries alternative strategies (its children) and returns success only if all of its children return failure.
