They measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gasses and, by that, the air/fuel ratio of the engine - they keep it running efficiently and producing the designed amount of emissions.

That's the simple explanation, anyway, for the complicated version of things like Nernst Cells: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_sensor
