DESCRIPTION:Active&nbsp\;solids consume energy to allow for ac
 tuation and shape change not possible in equilibri
 um. I will focus on the elasticity of systems as w
 ide-ranging as living matter\, nanoparticles\, and
  mechanical structures composed of active robotic 
 components. I will review our work on odd elastici
 ty and its recent experimental observations. I wil
 l then show how the design of active lattices usin
 g a variety of microscopic constituents leads to s
 urprising relations between the building blocks an
 d the emergent active mechanics. I will also discu
 ss how in lattices of robots intertia and elastici
 ty conspire and give rise to new varieties of patt
 ern formation. These results provide a theoretical
  underpinning for recent experiments and point to 
 the design of novel soft machines.
