1. A method of delivering at least one material to an animal, comprising: percutaneously injecting at least one material delivery device into an in vivo environment of the animal using a percutaneous injection mechanism, the percutaneous injection mechanism having a hollow body enclosing the at least one material delivery device, the at least one material delivery device including at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface, the collapsible reservoir configured to receive, retain and controllably dispense the at least one material, a processor configured to cause emission of an electromagnetic control signal, and at least one controllable output mechanism coupled to the at least one collapsible reservoir, wherein the at least one controllable output mechanism defines or is located within at least one outlet through which the at least one material may be released;delivering a quantity of the at least one material into the at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface;wherein the at least one controllable output mechanism includes a thermally-responsive material that absorbs an electromagnetic control signal and changes its shape to dispense the at least one material in response to at least one electromagnetic control signal; anddelivering at least a portion of the quantity of the at least one material to the animal through the at least outlet responsive to the thermally-responsive material absorbing the electromagnetic control signal. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface further comprises at least one inlet mechanism for receiving external delivery of a material. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one material delivery device includes RFID circuitry. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the animal is a human. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one material delivery device further comprises at least one sensor, at least one timer, or at least one counter. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one sensor is located on the at least one material delivery device. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to detect a quantity of the at least one material in the at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one material delivery device further comprises at least one electronic memory location for recording information. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one electromagnetic control signal is provided by at least one remote controller. 10.

The method of claim 13, wherein the at least one anti-infective agent includes at least one anti-viral agent. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the at least one anti-infective agent includes at least one anti-microbial agent. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one therapeutic agent includes a therapeutically effective amount of at least one agent to treat malaria. 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one therapeutic agent includes a therapeutically effective amount of at least one agent to treat tuberculosis. 18. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one therapeutic agent includes a therapeutically effective amount of at least one agent to treat leschmaniasis. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one therapeutic agent includes a therapeutically effective amount of at least one agent to treat cholera. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one material is a fluid. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein the animal is a mammal. 22. A method of delivering at least one material to an animal, comprising: percutaneously injecting at least one material delivery device into an in vivo environment of the animal using a percutaneous injection mechanism, the percutaneous injection mechanism having a hollow body enclosing the at least one material delivery device, the at least one material delivery device including at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface, the collapsible reservoir configured to receive, retain and controllably dispense the at least one material, a processor configured to cause emission of a magnetic control signal, and at least one controllable output mechanism coupled to the at least one collapsible reservoir, wherein the at least one controllable output mechanism defines or is located within at least one outlet through which the at least one material may be released; anddelivering a quantity of the at least one material into the at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface;wherein the at least one controllable output mechanism includes a magnetically-active material that absorbs a magnetic control signal and changes its shape to dispense the at least one material in response to at least one magnetic control signal; anddelivering at least a portion of the quantity of the at least one material to the animal through the at least outlet responsive to the magnetically-active material receiving the magnetic control signal. 23. A method of delivering at least one material to an animal, comprising: percutaneously injecting at least one material delivery device into an in vivo environment of the animal using a percutaneous injection mechanism, the percutaneous injection mechanism having a hollow body enclosing the at least one material delivery device, the at least one material delivery device including at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface, the collapsible reservoir configured to receive, retain and controllably dispense the at least one material, and including at least one outlet, and at least one controllable output mechanism operably linked to the at least one outlet; anddelivering a quantity of the at least one material into the at least one collapsible reservoir having a biologically inert collapsible outer surface;wherein the at least one controllable output mechanism includes a shape-changing structure selected from the group consisting of a ferropolymer, a bimetallic structure and a shape memory material and dispenses the at least one material in response to at least one electromagnetic control signal.
