About
Lasse Maywald is a researcher at the intersection of space robotics, additive manufacturing, and healthcare AI, whose work spans from orbital debris removal to patient-facing chatbot readability. His most-cited paper, “Post-capture detumble trajectory stabilization for robotic active debris removal” (2022, 13 citations), addresses the urgent challenge of stabilizing defunct satellites after capture—a critical step for mitigating collision risks in increasingly congested orbits. In “Additive Manufacturing of Large Structures Using Free-Flying Satellites” (2022, 10 citations), Maywald explores the feasibility of in-space manufacturing via free-flying robots, proposing a paradigm shift toward building larger, cheaper spacecraft directly in orbit. His co-optimization work on the Acrobot (2022, 6 citations) demonstrates a novel method for simultaneously designing underactuated robots and their controllers to enhance certifiable stability. More recently, Maywald has ventured into health-tech, evaluating the readability of large language model responses in prostate cancer care (2025, 3 citations), revealing a gap between objective metrics and patient perceptions. This diverse portfolio—combining space safety, robotic design, and accessible AI—positions Maywald as a forward-thinking engineer tackling real-world challenges from orbit to clinic.
