Hanger Reflex is a phenomenon that produces an illusory force and involuntary rotation of the body parts by skin deformation. We have confirmed that Hanger Reflex at the waist significantly affects walking direction. In this paper, we developed a device that control the waist-type Hanger Reflex by using pneumatic actuators, and confirmed that rotation and translational motion of the waist can be generated by the developed device.
