which saves time and provides fairly good results. A Cantilever beam is modeled using Finite Element method using
different nodes and elements and then the results are compared with analytical solution which shows that the significant
error may arise in FE models. Thus there is a need of choosing the right elements and nodes while performing analysis, in
order to predict the correct dynamic behaviour as the analytical results may not be available or may be too complex to obtain.

In this paper, the field of robotic gripper and the work in this area over the last two decades has been reviewed. In the recent
past many different robot grippers have been developed to grasp one or a few specific objects. Those grippers are well suited
for continuous work in structured environments. On the other hand, some researchers have focused their attention on
sophisticated general purpose grippers having kinematics and dextrousness similar to the human hand. With the evolution of
automation in industries, grasping become an important topic in robotics research community. The paper emphasis on study
of current existing robotic grippers, their basic design and optimization of the same.
