Watch out for laser beams and don't let them get too close.

It's a sentinel that spawns to attack you when you reach "wanted level" 3. Occasionally, they also guard factories. Did you place your base right next to a factory? Otherwise you usually don't encounter them in the wild.

Actually, they do wander around sometimes... Must be a spawning error or something, I've encountered them around starbrambles and such.

Shot at it, and watch how it kills you.

Best way to interact with it is by using your Geology Cannon.

Some planets have "High Sentinel Activity". Usually you can see that in the description when looking at the planet from space. On such planets sentinels can just spawn anywhere. I have a base on such a planet and sentinels just spawn in the base sometimes. I sometimes go around to various starbases and pick up all the missions to kill sentinels, then I go to my base and kill sentinels until all the missions complete, then teleport away. That base has a wooden shack with the teleporter inside. Going inside a building makes sentinels stop attacking you, with the exception of the dogs shooting through the door if you're standing where they have a clear shot.
