About this training
Behavior Trees are a new powerful tool for task switching and decision making that is receiving increasing attention in robotics. Behavior Trees are also an essential tool for ROS2 Navigation (Nav2) and MoveIt2.
This training will familiarize you with Behavior Trees (BT), architecting (modeling) robot behaviors, and implementing them in C++. During the course, we will discuss different concepts and mechanisms related to Behavior Trees, and we will deploy the discussed techniques (algorithms) in our domain to boost robot performance, using ROS2 simulations and C++.
What You’ll Learn
What Behaviour Tree is and why it is useful in robotics
Design principles of Behavior Trees in the context of a successful task description of the autonomous agent
Behavior Tree C++ as a C++ library and ROS framework to support the modeling of robot behavior
Stochastic Behavior Trees and automated planning
This training includes:
7 hours of ROS expert-led live training
Simulated robots for practice
Fast support & guidance from instructors
1 year access to training curriculum
Life-long access to the code developed during the training
Syllabus
Language: English
Module 1 - Welcome to the Training
This unit is an introduction to the Behavior Trees in ROS2 course. We will provide a quick preview of the course content and a practical demonstration using simulated robots.
Module 2 - Introduction to Behavior Trees
In this unit, you will understand the Behavior Trees concept and simplified software architecture which can be accommodated in the ROS2 framework. We will also to discuss the fundamental mechanisms of Behavior Trees.
Module 3 - Design principles of Behavior Trees in the context of a successful task description of the autonomous agent
This unit will provide you with a deep understanding of Behavior Trees architecture and mechanisms, allowing architecting the logical connections of robot behaviors.
Module 4 - BehaviorTree.CPP as a C++ library and ROS framework to support the modeling of robot behavior
In this unit, we will dive into the BehaviorTree.CPP library as a framework that allows the integration of Behavior Trees with ROS2.
Module 5 - Stochastic Behavior Trees and automated planning
This unit introduces the probabilistic behavior of nodes and gives you a general overview of how to incorporate automated planning (architecture changes) into Behavior Trees.
