Abstract Distinguished from conventional ones, intelligent metasurfaces are endowed with three important characteristics: digitalization, programmability, and intelligence, which can be further integrated with detection, artificial neural networks, and feedback systems into a smart platform. Metasurface-based smart systems are expected to play an important role in wireless communications, advanced sensing technologies and artificial intelligence.
