Technically it's a ChemBot, not a BioBot. There's nothing alive in
the bot or in the substantial portion of the making of the bot. It
may take inspiration from biomechanical designs (like sonar is a copy
of dolphins/bats) but that's it.
I wonder what it uses for energy source, perhaps it consumes matter it
found on its path? And if you chop it in two piece, does it become
two fully-functional ChemBots?

The first picture that came to my mind was a cross between an Evangelion and
a T2. As for splitting it in two and gathering matter in it's path for
energy, wouldn't that make it more of a von Neumann machine than anything
else? (Yes, Arthur C. Clark's 2010 Space Odesy comes to mind).
I'm no expert in anything resembling the skills that would be needed to
create such a thing, but it just seems so far out that the DOD would be more
likely to create a Gundam or an EVA before they could make a Chembot.
