Feature description
Rather than having map_topic
be a global parameter for the entire costmap it should be specific to each layer so that multiple static layers can be used to include things like "invisible walls" where an invisible wall layer would be server by a separate map_server on a unique topic other than /map
.
Implementation considerations
This one may be worth some discussion and I am not sure whether there is a better way to go about handling invisible walls but this one seems the most logical and flexible to me. It would be best if we make the map_topic
parameter "private" to the layer that we remove the global one although I am not sure if this will break any other costmap layers (it doesn't look like it would affect any of the other official ones).
