Three‐Dimensional Intelligent Cloaked Vehicle Equipped with Thousand‐Level Reconfigurable Full‐Polarization Metasurfaces

Abstract A crucial aspect in shielding a variety of advanced electronic devices from electromagnetic detection involves controlling the flow of electromagnetic waves, akin to invisibility cloaks. Decades ago, the exploration of transformation optics heralded the dawn of modern invisibility cloaks, which has stimulated immense interest across various physical scenarios. However, most prior research is simplified to low‐dimensional and stationary hidden objects, limiting their practical applicability in a dynamically changing world. This study develops a 3D large‐scale intelligent cloak capable of remaining undetectable even in non‐stationary conditions. By employing thousand‐level reconfigurable full‐polarization metasurfaces, this work has achieved an exceptionally high degree of freedom in sculpting the scattering waves as desired. Serving as the core computational unit, a hybrid inverse design enables the cloaked vehicle to respond in real‐time, with a rapid reaction time of just 70 ms. These experiments integrate the cloaked vehicle with a perception‐decision‐control‐execution system and evaluate its performance under random static positions and dynamic travelling trajectories, achieving a background scattering matching degree of up to 93.3%. These findings establish a general paradigm for the next generation of intelligent meta‐devices in real‐world settings, potentially paving the way for an era of “Electromagnetic Internet of Things.”
