The invention relates to a robot control unit and a method for controlling a robot. The robot control unit for a multi-jointed robot including multiple concatenated robot links. The robot control unit includes a plurality of recurrent neural networks, an input layer, which is configured to feed to each recurrent neural network a respective piece of movement information for a respective robot link, each recurrent neural network being trained to ascertain and output based on the movement information fed to it a position state of the respective robot link, and a neural control network, which is trained to ascertain control variables for the robot links based on the position states output by the recurrent neural networks and fed as input variables to the neural control network.
