That looks quite similar to my idea, actually :
* but with one homerunned fiber per joint
* the sensor element would be attached at the distal end of each, and extend through the rotation frame (in this case, a knuckle)
* all 15 knuckles would thus feed into one, 15-element fibre grid camera (per hand)
* optimally, the
light source itself would
also be located back at the camera assembly, feeding input light into the sensor. The thus 're-transmitted' sensor data (very-likely at a different frequency than the source light [and to which the cam would be tuned for]) would be fed back down the same lightpipe to the grid camera. Simple to assemble, simple to maintain.
Simple as. :^)

I might add to this that the finger-actuation
'tendons' (feeding up through the Carpal Tunnel wrist port, up from individual actuators located down in the forearm) would be laid down right alongside the sensor fibres in the same grooves/channels.
