Overview

What it does: Robotheca's summary

  • Visualises behaviour trees, with collapsible subtrees and zoom to fit the contents.
  • Rewinds and resumes a timeline of tree states for debugging past behaviour.
  • Shows blackboard data and an activity view, and can filter blackboard keys by selected behaviours.
  • Discovers and switches between running py_trees instances via a namespace drop-down.
  • Can be reconfigured to request blackboard introspection and more frequent updates.
  • Built on the py_trees_js library, so it can be adapted to other tree implementations, middleware, or web use.
