This paper presents an adaptive heading approach for perception awareness during trajectory following. By adapting the heading of a robot to improve the feature tracking in the current mapped environment, the accuracy in localisation can be improved. This can have a significant advantage for autonomous operations in GPS-denied environments such as subsea or in caves. The aim of the proposed approa...
