Model slips on ground and cannot acheive given velocity

Hi, Im trying to implement a program for multi robot obstacle avoidance. Right now I have a code which outputs a desired velocity. However, my robot is never able to achieve the given velocity. Also the bot continues moving even after I stop the program. I have attached the URDF model below for the robot (has omni wheels with 10 rollers).
