# Optimal Control on Cart Pole Source: [Optimal Control on Cart Pole]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:45:15.811Z Evaluation of optimal control algorithms applied to the Cart Pole environment, measured by the Final Cost. A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. | Scope | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Task | Optimal Control | | Dataset (including any stated split) | Cart Pole | | Metric | Final Cost | | Unit | SCALAR | | Direction | Lower is better | | Results loaded | 2 of 2 | | Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark | Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol. ## Metrics - [Final Cost](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. ## Recorded results | Method | Final Cost | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Continuous time OC | 17.49 | Not recorded | 68fa5b091e209131ce9c4aff | | Discrete zero-order hold OC | 19.96 | Not recorded | 68fa5b091e209131ce9c4aff | ### Continuous time OC Final Cost: 17.49. Result ID: 698baee97a967eddb77094b7. [Reporting paper]() Recorded evaluation configuration: {"Model Knowledge":"Known True Model","Control Type":"Continuous"}. This record does not assert independent reproduction. ### Discrete zero-order hold OC Final Cost: 19.96. Result ID: 698baee97a967eddb77094b8. [Reporting paper]() Recorded evaluation configuration: {"Model Knowledge":"Known True Model","Control Type":"Zero-order hold"}. This record does not assert independent reproduction. Page 1 of 1.
