The event-triggered consensus of multi-agent systems received extensive attention in academia and industry perspectives since it ensures all agents eventually converge to a stable state while reducing the utilization of network communication resources effectively. However, the practical limitation of the actuator could lead to a saturation phenomenon, which may degrade the systems or even induce instability. This paper plans to offer a detailed review of some recent results in the event-triggered consensus of multi-agent systems subject to actuator saturation. First, the multi-agent system model with actuator saturation constraints is given, and the basic framework of the event-triggering mechanism is introduced. Second, representative results reported in recent valuable papers are reviewed based on methods for dealing with saturated terms, including low-gain feedback, sector-bounded conditions, and convex hull representations. Finally, some challenging topics worthy of research efforts are dicussed for future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
