Abstract: The loop braid group is the motion group of unknotted oriented circles in $mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper, we study their representations through the approach inspired by two dimensional topological phases of matter. In principle, the motion of loops in $mathbb{R}^3$ reduces to the motions of points in a two dimensional sliced plane. We realize this physical picture in terms of braided tensor categories and their braid group representations.
