> In contrast with conventional digital cameras, in fact, curvy imaging sensors typically require multiple and complex lens combinations to take clear and high-resolution images.

This sounds backwards to me. My understanding of the main benefit of curved sensors is to eliminate complex lens series needed to correct aberrations caused by a flat sensor surface.

For a fixed focal length, yes. If however, you want to use a lens of a different focal length compared to the one naturally suited to the curvature, that makes things much more complicated.

Yes, sounds like they got that backwards. Although, if mimicking the eye, you'd need a lens with variable focal length to take full advantage.

Our eye only has good vision in the center. So, there is usually no mimicking the eye for designing imaging systems.
