Claim One:
1. A method for computer-assisted open-loop control, closed-loop control, or open-loop and closed-loop control of a technical system, wherein the open-loop control, the closed-loop control, or the open-loop and closed-loop control carries out, at respective times, actions comprising one or more action variables at the technical system as a function of one or more states of the technical system, comprising in each case one or more state variables, the method comprising: determining, by a predefined regulating method, at respective times, first actions that are to be carried out on the technical system as a function of at least the state of the technical system at the respective time; determining, by at least one exploration rule, one or more second actions to be carried out on the technical system as a function of at least the state of the technical system at the respective time; predicting a set of resulting subsequent states of the technical system based on a simulation model of the technical system for each second action; checking, for each set of subsequent states, whether the respective set of subsequent states satisfies a predefined threshold value criterion that defines thresholds that are to be complied with for at least one portion of the state variables of the respective set of subsequent states; supplying a second action to the predefined regulating method when one or more sets of subsequent states satisfy the threshold value criterion, for the second action, the predicted set of subsequent states satisfying the threshold value criterion, after the supplying, the predefined regulating method carrying out, as an action, the supplied second action instead of the first action or the first action in combination with the second action at the technical system.
