Occupy nodes in the A* module according to the size of the task executors

I'd like to avoid collisions between task executors.

I know that collisions can be avoided by matching the grid spacing of the Astar module to the size of the task executors, but it is not suitable for avoiding collisions between task executors of different sizes (e.g. collisions between an operator and an AGV).

In the Astar module, the task executor seems to occupy only one node regardless of the size of the task executor, but can it be customized to occupy multiple nodes according to the size?

Currently, there isn't a way to do this. AStar's collision features are built on the path finding algorithm, and the the size of the TE is not part of path finding.

I'll make sure that there is an item on the dev list covering this issue.
