Abstract This paper deals with the distributed consensus of networked linear agents via event‐driven communications by exploring relative‐state and relative‐output feedbacks. First, an alternative event‐triggered consensus design is proposed, consisting of a distributed controller with the relative‐state feedback and an event‐based communication policy, both of which can avoid employing the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix. Under the proposed scheme, it is proved that the residual consensus error is bounded, which is dependent on the agent number, the deviation constant in the threshold function, and the associated algebraic Riccati equation. Next, the design is extended to the case of the output event‐driven consensus control by using local observers.
