A graphical editor for creating and monitoring Behavior Trees, compliant with BehaviorTree.CPP.
Groot is a graphical editor for creating and monitoring Behavior Trees, which are hierarchical models used to control the decision-making logic of autonomous agents in robotics and games. It provides a visual interface to design complex behavior trees and monitor their execution in real-time, specifically designed to work with the BehaviorTree.CPP library.
Robotics engineers, game developers, and AI researchers who need to design and debug behavior trees for autonomous systems using C++ and the BehaviorTree.CPP library.
Developers choose Groot because it offers a dedicated visual editor for behavior trees with real-time monitoring capabilities, eliminating the need to manually write and debug complex tree structures in code while maintaining full compatibility with the industry-standard BehaviorTree.CPP library.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Offers a drag-and-drop interface for creating and modifying behavior trees, making design more intuitive, as highlighted in the key features for visual editing.
Provides live visualization of tree execution with status feedback during runtime, essential for debugging complex AI logic in robotics and games.
Seamlessly works with the BehaviorTree.CPP library for C++ applications, ensuring compatibility and reducing manual coding efforts.
Includes optional support for Robot Operating System, catering to robotics developers needing integrated workflows, as mentioned in the key features.
Groot 1.0 is in maintenance mode with no significant updates, and issues are not addressed by the main author, as stated in the README's deprecation notice.
Only compatible with BehaviorTree.CPP 3.8.x and not expected to work with version 4.x, forcing users to stick with older versions or migrate to Groot 2.0.
Requires specific dependencies like Qt5 and CMake, and ROS integration is discouraged, making installation cumbersome compared to plug-and-play tools.
