Robotic and edge intelligence systems operate in dynamic environments where data arrives continuously, requiring models to adapt while preserving previously learned knowledge under strict memory and energy constraints. While parameter-efficient fine-tuning has shown promise for continual learning with vision transformers, conventional architectures rely on dense computation and remain costly for real-world deployment. Sparse event-based vision transformers provide energy-efficient event-driven computation, yet their continual learning capabilities remain largely unexplored. We here introduce sLoTh, a parameter-efficient continual learning framework for pretrained sparse event-based (spiking) vision transformers. sLoTh freezes the backbone and restricts plasticity to scalable-efficient low-rank attention updates (seLoRA) and shared neuronal threshold modulation, enabling adaptation without replay buffers by updating less than 1% of model parameters. Experiments across CIFAR-100, Tiny-ImageNet, ImageNet-100, and ImageNet-R with up to 100 tasks demonstrate competitive rehearsal-free performance in class-incremental learning and online continual learning, while enabling approximately 6.5x lower energy consumption than conventional dense vision transformers.
