1. A door opening device comprising:
a handle including a user interface having a grabber element and a rotation element;
a telescoping pole, wherein the handle is mechanically coupled to a first end of the telescoping pole;
a head including a grabber configured to transition between an open state and a closed state, wherein the head is mechanically coupled to a second end of the telescoping pole opposite the first end;
a grabber actuator configured to cause the transition of the grabber between the open state and the closed state;
a rotation actuator configured to rotate the grabber;
a battery operatively coupled to the user interface, the grabber actuator, and the rotation actuator, wherein the battery is configured to store electrical power and to supply the stored electrical power to the grabber actuator and the rotation actuator, wherein:
activation of the grabber element results in transitioning of the grabber between the open state and the closed state;
activation of the rotation element results in rotation of the grabber;
the telescoping pole includes an elbow at the second end and the grabber is mechanically coupled to the elbow; and
the elbow is adjustable to reposition the grabber off of a central axis of the telescoping pole;
an elbow actuator configured to modulate a position of the grabber off of the central axis, wherein the user interface additionally includes an elbow element and activation of the elbow controls modulation of the position of the grabber off of the central axis by the elbow actuator.
