Some rice absorb water very quickly, some rice very slowly, some rice you want more water, some very little, sometimes you want to add other ingredients too. That's more than enough to vary cooking times but not be able to estimate cooking times via the sensor.

Obviously.

My question is what sensor do they use to detect the difference?

I did some Googling but couldn't find any info.

IIRC, it's just temperature (and maybe time). Once the bottom of the pot goes above boiling, all the water has been absorbed/boiled off. Cheap rice cookers then just click over to warm, fancy ones might do something based on time, which can change based on other things like how log it took to come to a boil or how long between coming to a boil and the water finishing absorbing.
