Hi, I am trying to implement dynamic obstacle avoidance using the costmap_converter package but my robot is still colliding with the dynamic obstacle. I followed the following tutorials: 1. costmap_conversion 2. track and include dynamic obstacle via costmap_converter

I am using 3 robots in simulation mmr1, mmr2, mmr3 and the navigation launch file is only for mmr3.

I am launching costmap_converter node like the following in my launch file:

 <node name="standalone_converter" pkg="costmap_converter" type="standalone_converter" output="screen">
    <param name="converter_plugin" value="costmap_converter::CostmapToDynamicObstacles" />
    <param name="costmap_topic" value="/move_base/local_costmap/costmap" />
    <param name="odom_topic" value="/odom" />
  </node>

The parameter file for teb_local_planner and costmap_converter is as follows:

 odom_topic: /odom

The following is some part of the output with warnings when I launch the navigation launch file:
