The symmetric group $\mathbb S_n$ can be presented, as we all know, as the group freely generaed by letters $\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_{n-1}$ subject to relations
$$
\begin{aligned}
&\sigma_i\sigma_j=\sigma_j\sigma_i, && 1\leq i,j<n, |i-j|>1;\\\\
&\sigma_i\sigma_j\sigma_i=\sigma_j\sigma_i\sigma_j, &&1\leq i,j<n, |i-j|=1; \\\\
&\sigma_i^2=1, && 1\leq i<n
\end{aligned}
$$
If we drop the last group of relations, declaring that the $\sigma_i$'s are involutions, we get the braid group $\mathbb B_n$. Now suppose I add to $\mathbb B_n$ the relations
$$
\begin{aligned}
&\sigma_i^3=1, && 1\leq i<n
\end{aligned}
$$
and call the resulting group $\mathbb T_n$.
