This article addresses the event-triggered coordinated control problem for multiple Euler–Lagrange systems subject to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Based on the event-triggered technique, a distributed coordinated control scheme is first proposed, where the neural network-based estimation method is incorporated to compensate for parameter uncertainties. Then, an input-based continuous event-triggered (CET) mechanism is developed to schedule the triggering instants, which ensures that the control command is activated only when some specific events occur. After that, by analyzing the possible finite-time escape behavior of the triggering function, the real-time data sampling and event monitoring requirement in the CET strategy is tactfully ruled out, and the CET policy is further transformed into a periodic event-triggered (PET) one. In doing so, each agent only needs to monitor the triggering function at the preset periodic sampling instants, and accordingly, frequent control updating is further relieved. Besides, a parameter selection criterion is provided to specify the relationship between the control performance and the sampling period. Finally, a numerical example of attitude synchronization for multiple satellites is performed to show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed coordinated control scheme.
