Machine Empathy is the trope where a character can diagnose the state of a machine just by its "feel", such as how it vibrates or the noises it makes. Comparisons between the machine and a living person are often invoked. Unlike the Technopath, no supernormal abilities are involved; a character develops Machine Empathy simply from firsthand experience or knowledge of the hardware. Contrast with Technopath, the phlebotinum-enhanced version of this trope. Also see Techno Wizard and Walking Techfix. Examples:

This is a popular talent for Mr. Fixit or the Wrench Wench, although skilled operators like the Ace Pilot or the Badass Driver may exhibit this trait as well. It's also a convenient excuse for why a well-placed smack instantly resolves the Plot-Driven Breakdown. Contrast with Technopath, the phlebotinum-enhanced version of this trope.
