Are you working with Behavior Trees, robotics, ROS/ROS 2, autonomous systems, or robot decision-making?
We are conducting a research study on adaptation needs in robotic systems that use Behavior Trees. If you work with robotic systems, we’d greatly appreciate your input.
We’re conducting a short survey to answer two key questions:
The relevance of different adaptation needs in robotic systems.
The suitability of different BT adaptation approaches for addressing those needs.
It takes about 20 minutes to complete, and as a bonus, you’ll also get an overview of adaptation needs in robotics, the current limitations of Behavior Trees, and the research efforts to address them.
Thanks for asking! By “we,” I mean the researchers from Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in Italy. We’re conducting this study as part of our research on Behavior Trees and adaptive robotic systems to better understand practitioners’ adaptation needs and evaluate different approaches for addressing them.
Hi Katherine, thanks for reacting to our post! We are Mehran Rostamnia (PhD student @GSSI), me (Ricardo Caldas), Gianluca Filippone, and Prof. Patrizio Pelliccione.
We are reaching out to the community to study the use and development of behavior trees in robotics, especially in contexts where robots must change their behavior during execution. Since several tools have been developed in the context of ROS (e.g., BTCpp, py_trees), we figured the community might be interested.
