Abstract: This paper investigates the consensus problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) under static and dynamic distributed edge-event triggered control protocols. The novel asynchronous edge-event triggered mechanisms are proposed to avoid continuous information transmission between neighbors, under which each subsystem does not exhibit the Zeno behavior. Compared with the existing works, the highlight of this paper is based on edge communication and the construction of triggering mechanism depends on the information of the edge. Moreover, compared with the event-triggered mechanism, the edge-event triggered mechanism is a more distributed information exchange mode and each agent transmits information to its out-neighbors asynchronously, thus effectively reducing the use of system resources. Finally, a practice simulation example is introduced to demonstrate the main results of this paper. Moreover, in order to highlight the advantages of our methods, a comparative experiment is performed.
