    This paper proposes a novel hybrid Aperiodic Intermittent Event-Triggered (AIET)control strategy for achieving leader-follower exponential consensus in Lipschitz-type nonlinear multi-agent systems. Conditions(ETCs),each containing a decaying exponential function term,which regulates the controller's active and rest intervals. Additionally,a distributed event-triggering condition is effective only within control intervals to manage the timing of controller updates. It is proven that all three event-triggering intervals have a positive lower bound,fully preventing the occurrence of Zeno behavior in the system. Unlike existing methods that rely solely on event-triggered mechanisms to manage controller states or update timing,this approach combines event-triggered mechanisms (ETM)with intermittent control (IC):by employing three distinct event-triggering mechanisms,it simultaneously reduces the need for continuous adjustments and sustained actions in the controller,thereby effectively lowering control and communication resource consumption. A simulation of the nonlinear multi-agent system is presented at the end of the paper,with results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in achieving the control objective.
