In this work, we introduce a category of dynamic manipulation processes, namely passive dynamic object manipulation, according to which an object is manipulated passively. Specifically, we study passive dynamic manipulation here. We define the main concept, discuss the challenges, and talk about the future directions. Like other passive robotic systems, there are no actuators in these systems. The object follows a path and travels along it under the effect of its own weight, as well as the interaction force applied by each manipulator on it. We select some simple examples to show the concept. For each example, dynamic equations of motion are derived and the stability of the process is taken... 

In this study, we deal with passive dynamic object manipulation. During passive dynamic object manipulation, a passive object is manipulated using passive manipulators. Like other passive robotic systems, there are no actuators in these systems. The object follows a path and travels along it under the effect of its own weight, as well as, the interaction force applied by each manipulator on it. The objects are not necessarily rigid, but we manipulate passive multibody objects as well as rigid ones. Thus, for a passive walking system, we assume that the passive walker is a multibody object and is manipulated by the ground (zero degree-of-freedom manipulator). As an example, we show that a... 

In this paper, we study passivity in dynamic manipulation of active objects. Active object is a concept covering a variety of objects, which are not rigid and need to be controlled during manipulation process. In this work, we use multi-link mechanisms with sufficient actuators to be controlled as object and a series of simple 1-DoF passive manipulators to perform such a process. Control of the object, dynamic and motion planning of the system, and stability in presence of impact are significant issues in this study
