  • Event-triggering mechanisms (ETM) have been developed for consensus problems to reduce communication while ensuring performance guarantees, but their design has grown increasingly complex by incorporating the agent's local and neighbor information. This typically results in ad-hoc solutions, which may only work for the consensus protocol under consideration. We aim to safely incorporate neural networks in the ETM to provide a general solution while guaranteeing performance. To decouple the stability analysis of the consensus protocol from the abstraction of the neural network, we derive design criteria for the consensus and ETM pair, allowing independent analysis of each element under mild constraints. Then, we propose NN-ETM, a novel ETM featuring a neural network, to optimize communication while preserving the stability guarantees of the consensus protocol.
