    "What is the name of the device that sense low battery and automatically starts the charging system ?"

    Outside a car : it is part of almost every professional battery charger.
    Inside a car : it is part of the continuous charging system.
    In both cases it is an electronic circuit that checks the status of the batteries (a regulator).

    Have a look HERE , HERE and also HERE for more information...

    Way back it was separate and mechanical and was called a "voltage regulator". Today, it's solid state and internal to the alternator and basically turns on and off the rotor field current to regulate voltage.
