Mech-Mind
梅卡曼德
Mech-Mind (梅卡曼德) is a Chinese embodied-AI robotics company founded and led by Tianlan Shao, who serves as chairman and CEO . Unlike robot OEMs, it doesn't build robot bodies — it sells standardized "eyes-brain-hands" intelligent components: the Mech-Eye industrial 3D camera for perception, the Mech-GPT multimodal embodied model for decision-making, and the Mech-Hand dexterous hand for execution . Per a Qiming Venture Partners piece, the company has now listed on Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing under Chapter 18C, with Qiming — which exclusively backed its A+ round in early 2019 — holding 7.38% pre-IPO as a lead sophisticated independent investor .
The commercial footprint behind that listing: five consecutive years (2020–2024) ranked first in China's 3D-vision-guided industrial robot market, deployments across automotive, new energy, logistics and 3C, and products inside lighthouse factories of 100+ Fortune 500 companies across China, the US, Japan, Korea, Europe and Southeast Asia, per Source Code Capital's August 2025 funding note . That round — nearly RMB 500 million backed by the Xiong'an fund, Zhongjin-Porsche fund and others — was earmarked for scaling the full-stack "eyes-brain-hands" technology globally . Earlier backers along the way included Sequoia China (B round) and Source Code Capital, which co-led the B+ round and kept adding through the C+ round .
