How to steer a given joint state probability density function to another over finite horizon subject to a controlled stochastic dynamics with hard state (sample path) constraints? In applications, state constraints may encode safety requirements such as obstacle avoidance. In this paper, we perform the feedback synthesis for minimum control effort density steering (a.k.a. Schrödinger bridge) problem subject to state constraints. We extend the theory of Schrödinger bridges to account the reflecting boundary conditions for the sample paths, and provide a computational framework building on our previous work on proximal recursions, to solve the same.
