When designing movement plans for Steward, we use a framework built around cost maps, which are basically grayscale images that each represent something that the Steward should either avoid or be attracted to.

Egocentric cost maps

Dimensions of the egocentric cost map Above: Dimensions of the egocentric cost map. Each grid cell here is actually 10x10 cells/pixels.

Our cost maps have a resolution of 0.2 meters per pixel. That mean that there are 25 pixels per square meter.
