After 25 years of research activity, the physics of collective motions -- flights of starlings, shoals of fish, micro-swimmers or artificial walkers -- is well understood. Here, we describe a new form of self-organization, emerging from the coupling between elasticity and activity: collective actuation, the solid counterpart of collective movements.
