Tons....
IR object detection
Heat sensors
Sonar object detection
Light sensors
Vision systems (used to detect objects and color)
Hall effect sensors (magnetic)
Magnetic reed switches
Any many more......

Like for doing what? As you said above, contact (tactile) sensors are a
good example. I guess you could say magnetic reed switches are mechanical
sensors.
