Add support to load environments using an Occupancy Map #2

Closed SuhrudhSarathy closed 1 year ago

SuhrudhSarathy commented 1 year ago

Loading environments with an Occupancy Map (.pgm) is useful to make it compatible with already generated environments.

Closing this issue as this does not help the use case. Occupancy grid map is a processed state of the world and not the world itself. Hence using an Occupancy grid to model the world will not be the right way a simulator should work.

The support for this feature will be provided in the world editor. An image can be loaded which can then be used as a reference for building the simulation world. Doing this has the following benefits:

  1. Generalised to any diagram of the environment.
  2. No change in the collision checking pipeline.
