Scientific fantasy can often guide and inspire new scientific discoveries and technological inventions, and many past scientific fantasies have become reality today. Science fiction movies are the product of the deep integration of art and technology. Science fiction movies with wonderful plots can stimulate children's curiosity and interest in learning. As sci-fi movies have more and more fans in China, the various scientific knowledge appearing in them has also received widespread attention. Explaining the scientific knowledge in sci-fi movies in an easy-to-understand way is undoubtedly an excellent platform for popular science, and the hand-painted book with rich pictures and texts is the key to unlocking the world of science.
Researcher Wang Yuanzhuo from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences is a young scientist with rich experience in big data and artificial intelligence scientific research, and an expert who has long been engaged in science communication and popularization. He is a hard-core dad with two lovely daughters. Since "The Wandering Earth" in 2019, he has hand-painted scientific explanatory pictures for his daughter, interpreting the scientific knowledge in the movie in simple and easy-to-understand language, which has attracted widespread attention. Over the past few years, he has selected classic sci-fi movies such as "The Wandering Earth", "Interstellar", "The Martian", "Iron Man", "Avatar" and "Ready Player One", and created two series of hand-painted popular science books for the public - "Science Fiction Movies" "Science in China" series has won more than 20 awards and received many praises since its publication. The author has also been invited to serve as a scientific consultant for some science fiction films and TV series, assisting in the completion of the scientific setting of the works and promoting the popularization of computer science.
This book is the third volume of the author's "Science in Science Fiction Movies" series. It takes science fiction film and television works as the main line, and carefully selects the wonderful scientific settings in "Robot Story", "Big Hero 6" and "The Three-Body Problem" as the main content. , while the theme of popular science has shifted from the space and artificial intelligence of the first two films to the all-encompassing field of intelligent bodies, explaining to children the scientific knowledge extended by the three sci-fi films in a hand-drawn way. The author has profound attainments in the hardware, software, and intelligent algorithms of the agent, and has also made great efforts in the fields of high-energy physics and quantum mechanics. He has consulted relevant experts to ensure the professionalism and scientific nature of the book.
Readers may be a little unfamiliar with the term "intelligent body" in the title. In the academic circle of artificial intelligence, "intelligent body" is a technical term translated from English "agent". (Marvin Minsky) introduced the concept of agent, which is used to describe a hardware, software or other entity with adaptive and autonomous capabilities, whose goal is to recognize and simulate human intelligent behavior. Just as it is difficult to define artificial intelligence, people have been arguing about it for many years, and the academic community has not yet unified the definition and understanding of what is an intelligent agent. The "intelligent body" mentioned in this book generally refers to various entities with intelligent characteristics, not limited to the agent mentioned in artificial intelligence textbooks, nor is it equivalent to a robot. It includes not only the smart devices and software that can be realized now, but also involves smart entities. In the "Three-Body" part of this book, the author extends the concept of intelligent agents to elementary particles at the micro level and civilization at the macro level, with a broader meaning. This is one way of explaining sci-fi movies, not as an uncontroversial academic term.
For intelligent bodies, people are more exposed to the instructions and operating skills of robots and intelligent systems, and rarely involve the popularization of basic principles and scientific knowledge. Whether it is robot design methods or intelligent system principles, professional knowledge about agents is relatively boring and difficult to understand. To explain complex scientific knowledge in a language understood by the public requires a high level of science popularization ability from creators. The three sci-fi films "Robot Story", "Big Hero 6" and "Three-Body" involve a wide range of scientific knowledge, such as motion planning, energy power, mechanical control, etc. related to robots, and intelligent conversation related to artificial intelligence. , tactile perception, EEG manipulation, etc., and the knowledge related to "Three-Body" is wider, not only virtual digital humans, but also quantum entanglement, Kardashov levels, Fermi paradox and deterrence game that are rarely touched by the public Etc. It is a difficult challenge for science popularization workers to popularize science to teenagers based on scientific knowledge that is difficult for adults to understand. The author of this book has a wide range of knowledge, and has received guidance and help from experts in related fields, and has completed this task at a high level.
This book has a clear structure, catalogs the knowledge points of the three sci-fi works, and leads readers step by step into the mysterious world of intelligent agents. The book popularizes science through interesting hand-drawn forms, explains scientific knowledge in easy-to-understand language, and vividly presents a The process of a father telling his daughters about the knowledge of agents. Many interesting designs are interspersed in the vivid and interesting hand-painted pictures, which reduces the difficulty of reading for young readers. Although this hand-painted book is created for children, adults will also gain from reading it. Parents and children will leave good memories of parent-child interaction when reading together.
"Science in Science Fiction Movies: Scientist Dad's Hand-painted Smart Body" is a rare parent-child popular science book, suitable for reading by primary school seniors, junior high school students, high school students and non-professionals who are interested in intelligent bodies. I sincerely hope that this book can break the audience boundary of computer science popularization and be loved by readers.

”about the author
This book is the third of the series of hand-painted popular science books "Science in Science Fiction Movies". They are all based on the classic science fiction movies that are widely loved by the audience. Through hand-painting, 10 most concerned scientific knowledge are extracted from each movie for explanation. The first "Scientist Daddy's Cosmic Hand-painted" selected three space-themed sci-fi movies: "The Wandering Earth", "Interstellar" and "The Martian", and the second "Scientist Daddy's AI Hand-painted" chose " Iron Man, Avatar and Ready Player One are three artificial intelligence-related sci-fi movies. These two books were published in 2020 and 2021 successively. Since their publication, they have won more than 20 awards, including: National Outstanding Science Popularization Works, Dianzan Science Popularization China's "Top Ten Popular Science Books", and the Central Propaganda Department's "Recommended Top 100 Books to National Teenagers". "Excellent Publication", Chinese Academy of Sciences Excellent Popular Science Book Award, Beijing Excellent Popular Science Book, Henan Excellent Science Popularization Works, China Excellent Popular Science Book, "Children's Reading China" original good children's book, etc.; it has also been widely praised by readers and friends Pay attention, this series of popular science videos related to popular science books has been viewed more than 100 million times on the Internet.
With the attention and encouragement of readers, the third book of the "Science in Science Fiction Movies" series, "Scientist Dad's Hand-painted Smart Body", was completed on schedule. According to our original plan, the original title of this book is "Scientist Dad's Robot Hand-painted", but during the creation process, we found that many readers are very concerned about virtual humans, digital humans, and the characters in "Three-Body Problem" scientific knowledge. Therefore, we have also made corresponding adjustments to the knowledge system in this book. Based on the scenes and settings in "Robot Story", "Big Hero Marine Corps" and "Three-Body", this book explains the scientific knowledge extended by these three science fiction movies, such as: robot-related motion planning, energy Power, mechanical control, etc., intelligence-related intelligent dialogue, visual perception, EEG control, etc., the "sophon" robot in "Three-Body", virtual digital human, quantum entanglement, etc., and the Kardashev civilization with civilization as the unit Hierarchy, the Fermi Paradox, and the Deterrence Game, etc. The book integrates different scales of macro, meso, and micro, and introduces "intelligent agents" from different perspectives. It is not pure artificial intelligence, nor is it equivalent to robots. It covers a wider range and has various forms. Robots, including quantum-scale "sophons", also include "intelligent agents" with civilization as a whole, which also greatly expands the boundaries of the knowledge system in the book.
During the writing process of this book, we also encountered some difficulties. If it is just to introduce robots, I have a lot of knowledge that I can share with readers and friends. On the one hand, I have personally made many purely manual intelligent robots for my two daughters. On the other hand, I have also presided over several intelligent robot The scientific research projects have a relatively in-depth understanding of the machinery, control, intelligent algorithms and chips in intelligent robots. However, the relevant knowledge in "Three-Body" involves high-energy physics, quantum mechanics, cosmic civilization, deterrence game and other fields that I am not good at. If you want to explain scientific knowledge clearly to readers, especially young readers, you must have an image Intuitive, but also scientific, so I had to read a lot of books and articles, watch popular science videos of experts, ask experts in related fields whether my understanding of the corresponding knowledge is accurate, and try to tell this knowledge to me My daughters, let's see if they can understand... After repeated revisions, the 30 scientific knowledge points of this book are finally formed. This creative process has also greatly deepened my understanding of a lot of knowledge. I believe that my scientific research work will also benefit from these new knowledge and new understanding in the future.
