Programmable Intelligent Surfaces with AI-Enabled Autonomous Sensing, Charging, Computing, and Networking

Provided herein are programmable intelligent surfaces (PIS) for transmitting power and/or signals to a device positioned on or proximate the surface including at least one resonant unit including a power distribution layer having at least one transmitter coil configured to be energized by a power source and generate an electromagnetic field sized to electrically interact with at least one meta-cell coil of a meta-resonance layer, and the meta-resonance layer extending over the power distribution layer and comprising an array of configurable meta-cells, each including at least one of the meta-cell coils configured to selectively amplify, block, modify, or pass unchanged the electromagnetic field generated by the transmitter coil.
