Adding Neural Network Controllers to Behavior Trees without Destroying Performance Guarantees

2018-09-26 · Christopher Iliffe Sprague, Petter Ögren

In this paper, we show how Behavior Trees that have performance guarantees, in terms of safety and goal convergence, can be extended with components that were designed using machine learning, without destroying those performance guarantees. Machine learning approaches such as reinforcement learning or learning from demonstration can be very appealing to AI designers that want efficient and realistic behaviors in their agents. However, those algorithms seldom provide guarantees for solving the given task in all different situations while keeping the agent safe. Instead, such guarantees are often easier to find for manually designed model-based approaches. In this paper we exploit the modularity of behavior trees to extend a given design with an efficient, but possibly unreliable, machine learning component in a way that preserves the guarantees. The approach is illustrated with an inverted pendulum example.

Understandable Controller Extraction from Video Observations of Swarms

2022-09-02 · Khulud Alharthi, Zahraa S Abdallah, Sabine Hauert

Swarm behavior emerges from the local interaction of agents and their environment often encoded as simple rules. Extracting the rules by watching a video of the overall swarm behavior could help us study and control swar…

Progress Constraints for Reinforcement Learning in Behavior Trees

2026-02-06 · Finn Rietz, Mart Kartašev, Petter Ögren, Johannes A. Stork arxiv

Behavior Trees (BTs) provide a structured and reactive framework for decision-making, commonly used to switch between sub-controllers based on environmental conditions. Reinforcement Learning (RL), on the other hand, can…

Continuous-Time Behavior Trees as Discontinuous Dynamical Systems

2021-09-03 · Christopher Iliffe Sprague, Petter Ögren

Behavior trees represent a hierarchical and modular way of combining several low-level control policies into a high-level task-switching policy. Hybrid dynamical systems can also be seen in terms of task switching betwee…
