Second-order event-triggered multi-agent consensus control

Event-triggered control scheduling strategies for multi-agent systems play a key role in future use of embedded microprocessors of limited resources that gather information and actuate the agent control updates. In this paper, a distributed event-triggered consensus control is proposed for a second-order multi-agent system. A centralized event-triggered strategy is adopted in the consensus control design. Then, the input-to-state stability of the closed-loop multi-agent system with the proposed event-triggered consensus control is analyzed and the bound of the inter-event times is ensured. Finally, we present a numerical example to validate the proposed event-triggered consensus control.
