So, inside the 'machinery',muscles can only pull, not push. Outside the machine, of course, the hand or the legmoves, and those can be rigged to objects in the outside world in ways that permitpulling or pushing.

What is the concept that muscles pull not push?

It's true. Muscles can only contract and as such pull against something. Depending on what you're doing the "something" that a muscle pulls against is a lever that ends up pushing, but then the pushing pressure is caused when the muscle forces the lever (bone) to push outward. But muscle can either contract or relax... that's all it can do.
