Researchers have introduced IR-LQR, a novel algorithm for the online linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem. This method integrates intrinsic rewards from reinforcement learning with variance regularization to encourage exploration in unknown dynamical systems. IR-LQR modifies the cost function, maintaining a simple structure for efficient computation, and achieves an optimal worst-case regret rate of $\sqrt{T}$. Numerical experiments on aircraft and UAV control examples demonstrate its effectiveness compared to existing algorithms. AI
