+Inside the test, simulation results are stored in `/tmp/fpalgos-{algorithm_type}-case{scenario_number}` as a rosbag.
 Loading these resulting files, by using [test/debug_plot.py](test/debug_plot.py),
 one can create plots visualizing the path and obstacles as shown
 in the figures below. The created figures are then again saved in `/tmp`.
