How do the rods and cones in your eyes work? I looked it up but didn't find any detailed explanation, and could we make them artificially to use like cameras?

How about this: wikipedia.
(You may find you need some basic understanding of biology for this.)

could we make them artificially to use like cameras?

Individual photoreceptors can be hooked up to electrodes, in labs, in small numbers, but they are not likely to replace electronic sensors in cameras.
