Ecovacs Deebot X1: reconstructing local map and control interfaces

Ecovacs Deebot X1 Local Control Research documents the robot's map format, ROS messages, state stream, and control services for local operation. The repository includes captured message definitions, scripts for querying and calling the ROS graph, and deployment notes for a separate Valetudo fork. The author reports working map, cleaning, and settings control on an X1 device.
