What it does
- Provides a modular integration of behavior trees into the ROS 2 ecosystem, designed to be extensible through plugins.
- Includes a configurable behavior execution engine and a C++ builder API for constructing behavior trees.
- Allows registering node plugins through high-level node manifests, without writing code.
- Adds a ros2 behavior command to the ROS 2 CLI for running and managing behaviors.
- Offers resource management through ament_cmake and ament_index, and supports custom behavior definitions and tree builder algorithms.
- Targets ROS 2 distributions Jazzy, Kilted, Lyrical and Rolling, and can be installed from Debian packages or built from source.

Robots that can run it
No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.
Robotheca lists software as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
