This paper introduces a novel application of the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network for the identification and control of complex systems. The computation-intensive task of calculating the interaction matrix, a necessity for visual control laws in these systems, makes LSTM a fitting solution. The proposed control law unfolds in two phases: an offline phase, where the LSTM is trained on a set of visual features to generate a kinematic screw vector, and an online phase, where the trained LSTM is utilized for real-time system control. To assess the efficacy of the LSTM-based approach, we undertook a case study involving a manipulator robot, the UR5. We executed a series of simulations under various conditions to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed LSTM-based control law. The outcomes from these experiments affirm the robustness of the LSTM controller, outperforming traditional methods even when faced with rapid fluctuations in visual features, partial loss of visual information, and model uncertainties in the robot.
