  Social robots need intelligence in order to safely coexist and interact with
humans. Robots without functional abilities in understanding others and unable
to empathise might be a societal risk and they may lead to a society of
socially impaired robots. In this work we provide a survey of three relevant
human social disorders, namely autism, psychopathy and schizophrenia, as a
means to gain a better understanding of social robots' future capability
requirements. We provide evidence supporting the idea that social robots will
require a combination of emotional intelligence and social intelligence, namely
socio-emotional intelligence. We argue that a robot with a simple
socio-emotional process requires a simulation-driven model of intelligence.
Finally, we provide some critical guidelines for designing future
socio-emotional robots.
