The simplest detection of a magnetic field is done by another magnet.
Or by an apparatus such as a Fluxgate magnetometer or similar.
magnetic sensors and state where they might be used.
Some are.Some are.
In a magnetic compass, electric motors, security system sensors and a whole lot more.
Many devices can measure magnetic flux: Hall effect sensors, fluxgates, magnetoresistive devices, etc.
The sensors that an engineer puts on a robot are entirely dependent upon the functions that the engineer perceives that the the robot will be called upon to perform. Some, but not all, of the sensors may be: proximity sensors, pressure sensors, light sensors, magnetic sensors, a camera, temperature sensors, accelerometer, speed sensor... The question isn't, "what sensors does a robot have", but rather, "what sensors does the engineer think that the robot should have?"
Generally it could be faulty sensors or module.... try cleaning the sensors on the wheel first..the sensors area magnetic,it can collect metal particle and block the signal..

Magnets actually generate electricity. When a wire is passed through a magnetic field it produces electron flow. Coils of wire can detect magnetic flux variation and be used as sensors.
In "Pretties," Tally and Zane defeated the sensors in the cuffs by creating chaos so the sensors couldn't focus on monitoring them. They then manipulated a magnetic field to unlock the cuffs, allowing them to escape.
A Hall Effect sensor is a transducer that varies its output voltage in response to a magnetic field.In its simplest form, the sensor operates as an analog transducer, directly returning a voltage. Hall Effect Sensors consist basically of a thin piece of rectangular p-type semiconductor material such as gallium arsenide (GaAs). When the device is placed within a magnetic field, the magnetic flux lines exert a force on the semiconductor material which deflects the charge carriers, electrons and holes, to either side of the semiconductor slab. This movement of charge carriers is a result of the magnetic force they experience passing through the semiconductor material. As these electrons and holes move side wards a potential difference is produced between the two sides of the semiconductor material by the build-up of these charge carriers. The effect of generating a measurable voltage by using a magnetic field is called the Hall Effect. Hall Effect sensors and switches are designed to be in the "OFF" when there is no magnetic field present. They only turn "ON", when subjected to a magnetic field of sufficient strength and polarity.There are two basic types of digital Hall Effect sensor, Bipolar and Unipolar. Bipolar sensors require a positive magnetic field (South Pole) to operate them and a negative field (North Pole) to release them while unipolar sensors require only a single magnetic south pole to both operate and release them as they move in and out of the magnetic field. Here we are using a unipolar sensor

Without physical contact detecting the presence of objects is the purpose of proximity sensors. They work based on inductive, magnetic, photoelectric and capacitive properties of objects.
