Various embodiments involve controlling rotational maneuvers of a robotic vehicle (e.g., an unmanned aerial vehicle or UAV) so that commanded changes in vehicle attitude (e.g., pitch, roll, and/or yaw) may be performed as rotations about a center of sensing of a sensor instead of the vehicle's center of gravity. Maneuvers performed according to various embodiments may reduce or eliminate translational movements in the sensor output that occur when the robotic vehicle rotates about the center of gravity and the sensor is mounted some distance from the center of gravity.
