Currently, the cob_footprint_observer only outputs a rectangular footprint. This should be adapted to provide a convex polygon. #32

One could think of two possible stages:

  1. add dummy links to cover the full size of the robot
  2. use the dimension of the meshes somehow

@fmessmer FYI

For generating a non-rectangular footprint, i.e. convexHull for a given set of (2D-projected) (tf-Frame) points, we could use cv::convexHull. It also provides cv::minAreaRect and cv::minEnclosingCircle

Still investigating possibilities to how to get points, or footprint, properly considering collision meshes
