a better question is would a robot with sensors feel in the same way a human would when it touches something?

Depends on what you're sensing. Temperature sensors may use thermocouple and seebeck effect to generate current as temperature changes. Light sensors use photoelectric effect, magnetic field sensor uses hall effect

it sends a change in voltage back to the "reader"

They're all basically variations on the same thing - using some physical reaction to create or change an electric current.

Most photosensors work by converting light into electric current via the photoelectric effect, most thermal sensors work by either using temperature gradients to drive an electric current or changes in temperature to alter the impedance of a circuit, etc.

No. That was not a better question at all.

>>16377714
some sensors have their own intelligence and send telegrams via a bus like i2c to a connected mcu. some even have an interrupt line, so they can go 'listen here, you little shit.'

Im no EE but I imagine it's basically some electrical component interacting with a physical device, and the resulting voltage / current, which you can measure, is directly correlated with the thing you are trying to measure. Then put in an analog to digital converter and have some driver software or ISA extension run the computation to map your number to the actual physical value.

Sensors are indefinitely in a superposition state until a conscious observer collapses the wave function.

Most bare sensors are made out of some material that varies its resistance in response to whatever condition is being monitored (light, heat, etc), and the reading device uses a resistive divider to change that into an analog voltage level for reading. Some sensors will simply allow or deny current entirely (temperature threshold sensors, for example), which lets them be read as simply an on/off (a 1 or a 0).
Some fancy sensors will include on-board circuitry that handles turning the resistive value into some kind of digital signal by itself. How that needs to be read will depend on the exact model of sensor (might be I2C or similar).

This touch sensor senses a resistance change between two conductors that are almost touching. Quantum tunneling? I know with common wire connections the electricity has to jump over a layer of oxide.

More likely capacitive coupling.

well they speak about a resistance change, maybe they mean impedance

Okay, so what's your basis for how most sensors work? Magic?

Perhaps OP is really asking how analog-to-digital converters work.

OP doesn't know what he's even asking. He's expecting some sort of mystic philosophical bullshit when the reality is that most sensors are glorified switches and the rest of them are glorified batteries or solar cells.

Voltage in pure physical sensors, there are endless others. You cannot measure current (outside exotic labs). Topping the level of incompetency over her is Seebeck, no current influence by principle (0 Ohms).

All you little shitterss have no idea about anything but an opinion on everything

Just because you understand that current gets measured in series doesn't mean current is not being generated. You don't even seem to understand that you can't have voltage without current because the two have a direct relationship via Ohm's law since if you have 0 Ohms, you also have 0 Voltage since V=IR.

You don't seem to know much yourself despite your opinion and poor attempt at semantic arguments, you clearly don't even understand what is meant by an emf and how it relates to current and charge (or at least you could never actually explain it in english in a way that doesn't contradict what you just said), even if they are measured in volts.
