behaviortree

'behaviortree' implements a behavior tree library similar to BehaviorTree.CPP but in Rust.

Examples implementing the BehaviorTree.CPP tutorials can be found here. For embedded devices similar examples are available here

⚠️ INFO ⚠️ This crate is still in development.

Usage

Below is a very simple example using functions as Actions. For more examples see:

• Linux/Mac-OS/Windows,
• embedded

use behaviortree::prelude::*;

const XML: &str = r#"
<root BTCPP_format="4">
    <BehaviorTree ID="MyBehavior">
        <Sequence>
			<MyAction1/>
			<MyAction2/>
        </Sequence>
    </BehaviorTree>
</root>
"#;

fn action_1() -> BehaviorResult {
    // your activity
    // ...

    // In case of Failure    
    //return Ok(BehaviorState::Failure);

    // In case of Success    
    Ok(BehaviorState::Success)
}

fn action_2() -> BehaviorResult {
    // your activity
    // ...
    Ok(BehaviorState::Success)
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // create a behavior factory
    let mut factory = BehaviorTreeFactory::new().unwrap();

    // register your behaviors
    register_simple_behavior!(factory, action_1, "MyAction1", BehaviorKind::Action).unwrap();
    register_simple_behavior!(factory, action_2, "MyAction2", BehaviorKind::Action).unwrap();

    // create the tree
    let mut tree = factory.create_from_text(XML).unwrap();
    
    // run the tree until Success or Failure
    tree.tick_while_running().await.unwrap();
}

For implementation of your own behaviors, there is a set of derive macros: Action, Condition, Control and Decorator.

use behaviortree::prelude::*;

const XML: &str = r#"
<root BTCPP_format="4">
    <BehaviorTree ID="MyBehavior">
        <MyAction message = "hello world!"/>
    </BehaviorTree>
</root>
"#;

/// Derive an `Action`
#[derive(Action, Debug, Default)]
pub struct SaySomething;

/// Implement the `Action`s functionality
#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl Behavior for SaySomething {
    /// Minimum implement the tick function
	async fn tick(
		&mut self,
		behavior: &mut BehaviorData,
		_children: &mut BehaviorTreeElementList,
		_runtime: &SharedRuntime,
	) -> BehaviorResult {
        // getting the port
		let msg = behavior.get::<String>("message")?;
        // doing something
		println!("Robot says: {msg}");
        // signaling success
		Ok(BehaviorState::Success)
	}

    /// Define the available ports.
    /// This is optional, the default implementation is for no ports.
	fn provided_ports() -> PortList {
		port_list! {input_port!(String, "message")}
	}
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // create a behavior factory
    let mut factory = BehaviorTreeFactory::new().unwrap();

    // register the behavior
    SaySomething::register(&mut factory, "MyAction").unwrap();

    // create the tree
    let mut tree = factory.create_from_text(XML).unwrap();
    
    // run the tree until Success or Failure
    tree.tick_while_running().await.unwrap();
}
