About

Hanting Zhao is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of intelligent electromagnetic (EM) metasurfaces and indoor robotics. Their work fundamentally reimagines how we interact with complex indoor environments by merging advanced materials with artificial intelligence. Zhao’s most celebrated contribution, the "Intelligent indoor metasurface robotics" (2022, 59 citations), introduces a groundbreaking paradigm where metasurfaces act as programmable, robotic skins. This innovation enables mobile robots to dynamically perceive and adapt to their surroundings—such as in at-home healthcare or factories—overcoming the limitations of conventional sensors. Zhao further advanced the field with "Intelligent Metasurface Sensors" (2023), which leverages AI to autonomously organize task-oriented sensing pipelines for contactless examination, and "Intelligent Metasurface Based Indoor Positioning and Control System With Non-Cooperative Blind Signals" (2021), which exploits ambient Wi-Fi signals for high-accuracy, low-energy positioning. By transforming passive surfaces into intelligent, adaptive systems, Zhao’s work promises to revolutionize smart environments, from industrial automation to personal robotics, establishing them as a key architect of the future of intelligent indoor infrastructure.
