How to mark a given location as obstacle
Right now i have a robot that stops when it detects a person. I need to be able to mark a coordinate as obstacles, even though it still is not an obstacle. This is because im predicting the behavior of the person so i need to mark as obstacles the path i think it will walk. Any ideas how to accomplish this? Can i just add an obstacle on the obstacle topic? and if so how can i manage this? Also i found out you can change the laserscan to add the new arbitrary obstacle here is this a possibility? Thanks
