This article investigates the coordination of a class of underactuated systems subject to limited energy supply and channel bandwidth and aims to stabilize system states and exclude Zeno behaviors simultaneously. First, by means of event-triggered (E-T) and quantized techniques, several novel quantized sampleddata-based E-T schemes are constructed, which only require discrete-time controller updates and partial quantized states, and thus efficiently mitigate the control and communication workloads. Then, in order to further lower the communication consumptions, several new triggered sampled-data-based communication rules under fixed and switched networks are established, where the communications are performed only at some specific instants and, thus, the ideally continuous-time signal transmission among neighbors can be avoided. Note that sufficient criteria for achieving the coordination of the underactuated systems are derived in terms of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method. Finally, numerous simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

INTRODUCTION T HE RESEARCH of underactuated systems has attracted a large amount of interests due to their favorable merits of lower energy consumption and higher operation flexibility comparing with fully actuated systems [1], [2]. Up to now, its various applications have been extensively investigated, for instance, aircrafts, robotic manipulators, mobile, and underwater vehicles [3], [4]. While, because of its intrinsic couplings of passive and active states, it cannot be directly synthesized Manuscript
