(Yicai Global) Sept. 27 -- Mech-Mind Robotics, a Chinese industrial robotics startup, said it has secured CNY1 billion (USD155 million) in its latest funding round led by online services giant Meituan and venture capital firm IDG Capital.

Sequoia China and Source Code Capital, who are already shareholders, also invested in the Series C financing round, the firm, headquartered in Beijing and Shanghai, said today. The funds will be used to upgrade products, services and delivery capabilities.

Mech-Mind said it has received hundreds of millions of yuan from Meituan, as well as raising around CNY100 million (USD15.5 million) in the Series B and B+ rounds led by Sequoia China last year.
