Flippy gets call-up to Dodger Stadium

LOS ANGELES – Flippy, the burger flipping robot, has a new gig cooking fried chicken tenders and tater tots at Dodger Stadium.

The robot debuted earlier this year at a Pasadena, California, burger restaurant, only to get stage fright from the rush of customers. It has since been retooled and is now working full time, processing "thousands" of burgers daily, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the robot's creator, David Zito, CEO of Miso Robotics.

Now, Flippy is set to debut at the Stadium, which attracts as many as 50,000 customers daily, in mid-August.

"Flippy is being called to the majors," Zito says.

Humans are being trained on how to work with the robot. Well, ain’t that nice. Is Flippy trained to work with humans?
