An adaptive dynamic surface control (DSC) scheme using event triggering mechanism and barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) to constraint state variables and solve energy saving issues is proposed for multi-agent systems (MASs). Furthermore, invented a control algorithm that uses the event-triggered mechanism for not only decrease the number of information exchanges between agents significantly but also decreased utilization of electricity and communication expenses in the control process. DSC and full-state constraints are used to solve the “complexity explosion” problem of the traditional back-stepping method. Simulation and semi-physical experimental platforms were constructed to verify the proposed algorithm is valid.
