| # IOAI 2026 — Robot Chasing | |
| Official contest data for **Robot Chasing**, task 2 (Day 1) of the [IOAI 2026](https://ioai-official.org) Individual Contest, held in Astana, Kazakhstan. | |
| Six robots operate in `6×6` grid rooms (an `8×8` array including walls). Each robot receives an English instruction describing a behaviour; contestants must predict the robots' actions from observations. | |
| The task statement, translations, baseline and grader live in the [IOAI-2026 GitHub repository](https://github.com/IOAI-official/IOAI-2026/tree/main/Individual-Contest/2_Robot_Chasing). This repository holds **data only**. | |
| ## Subsets | |
| | Subset | Path | Contestants saw it | Role | | |
| |---|---|---|---| | |
| | Public – train | `public/train/` + `public/train_answers.json` | yes | labelled training observations | | |
| | Public – dry-run | `public/pretrain/`, `public/pretest/` + answers | yes | small slices for pipeline validation | | |
| | Private – Leaderboard A | `private/test_leaderboard_a/` + `private/test_leaderboard_a_answers.json` | no | **live leaderboard** during the contest | | |
| | Private – Leaderboard B | `private/test_leaderboard_b/` + `private/test_leaderboard_b_answers.json` | no | **final ranking** | | |
| Answers files sit at the subset root (`*_answers.json`), not inside the split folders — the layout the contest grader expects. | |
