Popis: This paper studies the reduction by symmetry of a variational obstacle avoidance problem. We derive the reduced necessary conditions in the case of Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant metric, and for its corresponding Riemannian homogeneous spaces by considering an alternative variational problem written in terms of a connection on the horizontal bundle of the Lie group. A number of special cases where the obstacle avoidance potential can be computed explicitly are studied in detail, and these ideas are applied to the obstacle avoidance task for a rigid body evolving on SO$(3)$ and for the unit sphere $S^2$.
