We can actually sense the eletrical signals the arm sends to the hand. However calibrating a robotic hand to move in accordance with those signals is hard.
Hands are extremely complex things to emulate, the have to do very fast movement and be able to grip fairly strong yet they also can't crush everything they try to grab. Not only that, they have to have low power requirements and be tough enough for everyday use.
