This study mainly investigates the event‐triggered data transmission in discrete‐time multi‐agent consensus problem with communication delays. A new distributed event‐triggered scheme is proposed for the considered multi‐agent network model. An action of the agent is triggered by an ‘event’ which is a well‐defined condition on the system state. For the proposed event‐triggered protocol, the authors prove that the multi‐agent network will achieve consensus asymptotically. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
