Antiferromagnets as active elements of spintronics can be faster than their ferromagnetic counterparts and more robust to magnetic noise. Owing to the strongly exchange-coupled magnetic sublattice structure, antiferromagnetic order parameter dynamics are qualitatively different and thus capable of engendering novel device functionalities. In this review, we discuss antiferromagnetic textures -- nanoparticles, domain walls, and skyrmions, -- under the action of different spin torques. We contrast the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic dynamics, with a focus on the features that can be relevant for applications.
