Maybe it's a Map Station. You know the ones where Samus sticks her gun into it, and it gives her a map of the whole landscape. Or, maybe it's a portal generator. Samus sticks her gun into it, which turns on the computer. Then the computer turns on a laser, which then opens a light portal.
... or, it could be just a computer that gives you usless info on the inhabitants of the planet. Do you know what, I hated those computers. You had to scan EVERY SINGLE ONE just to get 100%! It took me FOREVER just to find all of them. I so hope they don't have those in Other M; I'll go crazy if they do. 
One more thing, Peardian, "ATM" stands for "Automatic Teller Machine". BG called it a "Automatic Teller Machine Machine".
