## Usage

### Perception
```python
import pandas as pd
X_train = pd.read_csv("perception_dataset/train/X_train.txt", sep=r"\s+", header=None)
y_train = pd.read_csv("perception_dataset/train/y_train.txt", header=None, names=["label"])
```

### Navigation
```python
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("navigation_dataset/sensor_readings_24.data", header=None)
X, y = df.iloc[:, :-1], df.iloc[:, -1]
```

### Failure Detection
```python
# Blocks are separated by blank lines; each block = one instance
# Format: label\n6_values\n6_values\n...\n (15 timesteps)
def parse_lp(path):
    rows = []
    with open(path) as f:
        text = f.read()
    for block in text.strip().split("\n\n"):
        lines = block.strip().split("\n")
        label = lines[0].strip()
        data = [list(map(float, l.split())) for l in lines[1:] if l.strip()]
        rows.append({"label": label, "data": data})
    return rows
```
