This paper presents a learning-based current calculation framework to achieve power-optimal magnetic-field interaction for multi-agent formation and attitude control. In aerospace engineering, electromagnetic coils are referred to as magnetorquer and used as satellite attitude actuators in Earth's orbit and for long-term formation and attitude control. This study derives a unique, continuous, and power-optimal current solution via sequential convex programming and approximates it using a multilayer perceptron model. The effectiveness of our strategy was demonstrated through numerical simulations and experimental trials on the formation and attitude control.
