object that rolling: A

object that should keep upright: B

solution 1: detach B from A and attach A and B to some empty C, move C, rotate A, B will be moved but not rotated

solution 2: make simple Update() in B and set it's rotation every frame

Or if you get the rotation from A and invert it onto B maby?

this is unneeded operation. instead of make

 transform.localRotation = [inversed parent rotation]

you simple can use

 transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
