The question you asked was not relevant to my question. I'm asking if it exists so how exactly would I know how a device that does not exist works?
(might be wrong) It does not exist. The problem isn't connecting to the tendons and bone, but rather sealing the skin around the system. Very recently, as in the past year, researchers developed a material that skin and bone grows in to. This provides a seal that was impossible prior.
They tested this on a cat that had parts of its legs amputated, with stubs of this material embedded in place. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10404251
This is far from being able to test in humans, but it is promising.

They exist. I have a friend who has a claw that opens and closes attached to a tendon in his shoulder.
How does this work? How do they keep out contamination? How is the skin sealed to the device?
Awesome now just implant a braingate chip and an arm like the one LessBread linked and you would be set!
