Distributed Event-Triggered Control Strategies for Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract — Event-driven strategies for distributed multi-agent systems are motivated by the future use of embedded micro-processors with limited resources that will gather information and actuate the individual agent controller updates. The event-driven control actuation updates considered in this paper are distributed, in the sense that agents require knowledge only of the states of their neighbors for the controller implementation. The proposed distributed strategy is compared with an earlier approach. I
