  | collision_margin_distance   | double    | Default 0.10. Margin distance from collision to apply severe penalty, similar to footprint inflation. Between 0.05-0.2 is reasonable. |
  | near_goal_distance          | double    | Default 0.5. Distance near goal to stop applying preferential obstacle term to allow robot to smoothly converge to goal pose in close proximity to obstacles.   
+ | cost_scaling_factor       | double    | Default 10.0. Exponential decay factor across inflation radius. This should be the same as for your inflation layer (Humble only)
