No, there is no punctuation missing, the headline writing style is just hurting comprehensibility. I'll expand it a bit.
"A startup, which is set to brick an $800 kids' robot, is trying to open-source it first"
Cheers, I can read and comprehend the original headline now. I'm Australian so English isn't my first language, at least that's my excuse.

So...what is your first language then?

Yes, it should at least be kids'. Kids robot doesn't make sense.
I clicked on this thread only to figure out what that title is supposed to mean.
$800... for an emotional support toy?
Is this why there's so much poverty in the world? Because once people have enough excess wealth, this is what they choose to spend it on instead of helping those who need it more?
