Revision history [back]

I figured it out: The issue appears to be with the

track_unknown_space: true

inside the local_costmap_params. Apparently, the DWAPlanner cannot handle unknown-areas (represented by NO_INFORMATION-cost values) properly. By setting track_unknown_space to false, the unknown-area is treated like free-space and the local planner works perfectly fine.
