This paper investigates the leader-following consensus problem of multiagent systems using a distributed event-triggered impulsive control method. For each agent, the controller is updated only when some state-dependent errors exceed a tolerable bound. The control inputs will be carried out by actor only at event triggering impulsive instants. According to the Lyapunov stability theory and impulsive method, several sufficient criteria for leader-following consensus are derived. Also, it is shown that continuous communication of neighboring agents can be avoided, and Zeno-behavior can be excluded in our schema. The results are illustrated through several numerical simulation examples.
