In this study, an event-triggered control strategy is proposed to achieve consensus in a multi-agent system under a directed topology. The proposed control strategy utilises a piecewise continuous control law and an event-triggering function for each agent. The control law only updates at discrete event instants computed using an event-triggering function, which depends on the states of the agents at the current and outdated event instant. This control approach is first applied to a first-order system and is further extended to a second-order system. Simulation examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed control strategy.
