Revision history [back]

The local planning is an optimization over a number of different factors.

The cost in the costmap is typically weighted very lowly, except when a collision with a lethal cost is detected. This parameter by default is 0.01. This is very low when compared to say the distance to the goal (24) or the distance to the global path (32).

Increasing occdist_scale could get your path to respect the social obstacles more, but a more direct plan might involve also changing the global path.
