We consider the problem of steering, via output feedback, the state\ndistribution of a discrete-time, linear stochastic system from an initial\nGaussian distribution to a terminal Gaussian distribution with prescribed mean\nand maximum covariance, subject to probabilistic path constraints on the state.\nThe filtered state is obtained via a Kalman filter, and the problem is\nformulated as a deterministic convex program in terms of the distribution of\nthe filtered state. We observe that, in the presence of constraints on the\nstate covariance, and in contrast to classical Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG)\ncontrol, the optimal feedback control depends on both the process noise and the\nobservation model. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified using\na numerical example.\n
