Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide for a joystick assembly that separates the user from electrical equipment. In some embodiments, the joystick assembly comprises a handle, a rod, a camera, and a target object. The target object may move indicative of the handle by input from the user. The camera may obtain a target object image of the target object and a difference between the target object image and the image pattern is determined. A signal indicative of the difference between the target object image and the image pattern may be sent to actuate at least one actuator.
