Adaptation Needs in Robotic Systems: Assessing Behavior Trees and Their Enhancement

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 4, 2026 · UTC

Robotic systems increasingly operate in dynamic, uncertain, and open-ended environments, where design-time assumptions may no longer hold, and adaptation becomes necessary to maintain effective and safe operation. Behavior Trees (BTs) are widely used in robotic control architectures due to their modularity, readability, and reactivity. This raises a central question: are BTs sufficient to meet the adaptation needs of modern robotic systems? This paper investigates this question through a literature-driven study complemented by empirical validation. First, we derive a classification of robotic
