Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a complex heterogenic disease of unknown etiology, is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Sufferers often exhibit significant insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, obesity, and dyslipidemia. There is no cure for PCOS, although metformin and weight reduction have shown some benefits.

Objectives: Percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) is an effective treatment for disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), proposed to influence vagal pathways. Cardiac metrics such as respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA) and vagal efficiency (VE) can noninvasively assess parasympathetic output. Commonly used antidepressant drugs inhibit vagal signaling and may interfere with PENFS.

With the escalating demand for exploration within confined spaces, bionic design methodologies have attracted considerable attention from researchers, primarily due to the intrinsic limitations of human access to hazardous environments. However, contemporary bionic robots primarily attain linear motion through the axial radial deformation of their body segments, thereby lacking the upright functionality that is characteristic of these organisms. In response to the limitations associated with current bionic earthworm robots concerning upright capability and stiffness modulation, we propose an innovative bionic robot that incorporates upright functionality and programmable stiffness.
