Video Summary :
The approach uses a greedy strategy to simulate a robot writing characters onto paper in the smallest possible lexicographic order. It precomputes the smallest character to the right of each position to decide when it's safe to write a character from a temporary stack. By pushing characters onto the stack and popping them only when they are less than or equal to the minimum upcoming character, it ensures optimal ordering. The remaining stack characters are appended at the end.
