Abstract: Product design plays an important role in transforming every scientific and technological achievement into a competitive commodity in the value chain collaboration of manufacturing industry. Under the guidance of design theories, the powerful computing power of computer and the unique cognitive ability of human are injected into product development at the same time, and the automatic expression and processing of design knowledge are enhanced, which can greatly improve the solving efficiency of design problems and provide new impetus for product design. The significance of product design driven by human-machine joint cognition is refined with the value chain collaboration of manufacturing industry, with the classification of intelligent factors and the internal mechanism process being revealed. The human-machine joint cognition and artificial intelligence algorithms in product design are systematically sorted out. Taking virtual reality, cognitive computing, brain-computer interface and trusted artificial intelligence as representatives, this paper introduces the key technologies of product design driven by human-machine joint cognition. From market scenario analysis, user preference mining, design intention understanding, design solution solving, and design behavior decision-making, the research progress of product design driven by human-machine joint cognition with the value chain collaboration of manufacturing industry is detailed, and the specific deficiencies of human intelligence and machine intelligence in current product design are summarized. It also points out the inevitable development trend of product design from man-machine joint cognition to man-machine-thing joint cognition.

Key words: value chain collaboration, man-machine joint cognition, product design, market scenario analysis, design intent understanding, design behavior decision-making
