AB#18500
when there's a small obstacle right in front of the robot and
obstacle_approach_distance
is significant, the enlarged footprint can engulf the obstacle and so the robot is not considered in collision:PF_fp_KO.mp4
This cannot happen if we check also the cell at the center of the robot, as it will enter inflated space as soon as we start moving:
PF_fp_OK.mp4
Other algorithms check the fp cost the same way, e.g. Hybrid A*.
In theory this should also provide a small increase in performance, as checking a cell is much faster than the checking the footprint lines
