[Application prospect of human-artificial intelligence system in future manned space flight].
OBJECTIVE
To make the manned space flight more efficient and safer, a concept of human-artificial (AI) system is proposed in the present paper.


METHODS
The task of future manned space flight and the technique requirement with respect to the human-AI system development were analyzed.


RESULTS
The main points are as follows: 1)Astronaut and AI are complementary to each other functionally; 2) Both symbol AI and connectionist AI should be included in the human-AI system, but expert system and Soar-like system are used mainly inside the cabin, the COG-like robots are mainly assigned for EVA either in LEO flight or on the surface of Moon or Mars; 3) The human-AI system is hierarchical in nature with astronaut at the top level; 4) The complex interfaces between astronaut and AI are the key points for running the system reliably and efficiently.


CONCLUSIONS
As the importance of human-AI system in future manned space flight and the complexity of related technology, it is suggested that the R/D should be planned as early as possible.
