Revision history [back]

You're on the right track. If the robot is getting close enough that it is doing the recovery behaviors, then it's possible you're not setting the robot footprint correctly. What shape is your robot?

Changing the robot's footprint may change the minimum allowed distance. If you want to allow your robot to go closer, but prefer it to move farther, I would increase the inflation_radius and play with the cost_scaling_factor.
