Behavior tree
open-in-new
<p>A behavior tree is a structured visual <a href="/facts/Modeling/Hj8KMwdD">modeling</a> technique used in <a href="/facts/Systems_engineering/gFwRmkDp">systems engineering</a> and <a href="/facts/Software_engineering/KX6cE9kz">software engineering</a> to represent the behavior of a system. It employs a tree-shaped diagram composed of <a href="/facts/Node_(computer_science)/eYlvVE0z">nodes</a> and connectors to depict the flow of control and actions within the system. By replacing ambiguous <a href="/facts/Natural_language/B4gLS7Kd">natural language</a> descriptions with standardized visual elements—such as boxes, arrows, and symbols—behavior trees aim to improve clarity, reduce misinterpretation, and enhance system understanding. </p>
